Krita

2006 Salento Chardonnay 60%, Malvasia Bianca 40%

L'astore Masseria Krita is a delightful white wine from the Salento region, showcasing a harmonious blend of sixty percent Chardonnay and forty percent Malvasia Bianca. This vintage, crafted in 2006, presents a pale golden hue, inviting the senses with its bright and refreshing character. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, exuding vibrant acidity that dances elegantly with mouthwatering freshness. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing luscious notes of ripe stone fruits and citrus, beautifully balanced by a subtle floral undertone from the Malvasia Bianca. This wine is utterly dry, making it a fantastic companion for a variety of dishes, from grilled seafood to creamy pasta. Its well-structured nature highlights tantalizing minerality, delivering an exquisite taste experience that embodies the essence of its terroir.

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.
