Tinaia

Salice Salentino 100% Chardonnay

The Due Palme Tinaia is a delightful white wine crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in the sun-kissed region of Salice Salentino. This wine offers a harmonious blend of full body, bright acidity, prominent fruit intensity, and a dry finish. The Chardonnay grapes from this area infuse the wine with flavors of ripe apple, citrus, and a hint of tropical fruits, creating a refreshing and elegant drinking experience that captures the essence of the Salice Salentino terroir.

Region:

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.
