Felsina Berardenga 'I Sistri' Chardonnay 2019

92 Points Wine Advocate

As it turned out, I tasted this wine while working on my Alto Adige report that was focused on crisp white wines from the Italian Dolomites. Maybe that's why the profoundly Tuscan character of the Fèlsina 2019 Chardonnay I Sistri struck me with so much intensity. There is a softness here and a shiny golden sunlit color that underline the gentle warmness and mild temperatures of central Italy. Tropical aromas with poached pear and orchard fruit are framed by salty mineral definition. The wine is seamless in texture, wrapping smoothly over the palate.
