Chardonnay Salento

2012 Salento Chardonnay

Poderi Angelini Chardonnay Salento is a beautiful expression of the Chardonnay varietal from the renowned Salento region. This white wine showcases a medium body with a refreshing level of acidity that adds brightness and liveliness to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, bursting with flavors of ripe stone fruit and hints of citrus, making it an incredibly enjoyable wine. Its well-balanced profile has a delightful, crisp finish that seamlessly complements its dry character. This vintage from 2012 reflects the unique terroir of Salento, where the warm sun and coastal breezes create ideal growing conditions, resulting in a wine that is both elegant and approachable—perfect for any occasion or gathering.

Region:


Puglia
Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
