Marchesi Antinori 2016 Bramito Chardonnay - 91pts

Marchesi Antinori 2016 Bramito Chardonnay (Umbria IGT) Italy

Availability: Costco, Specialty stores
Cost: $16.99-19.99 USD + taxes
Alcohol: 12.5%
Date Tasted: February 27th, 2018

Tasting Notes: Far from a 'showy' or bombastic Chardonnay, Antinori's Bramito, meaning the call of a deer in Italian, is subtle on the pitaya and Meyer lemon scented nose and on the well-balanced, citrus'n'spice kissed, medium-bodied palate where oak and melon flavours play only a supporting role to the leading spice and acidity layers. The finish is long with lingering spice and lemon/lime rind tingling your tongue through to the next sip. Both refreshing and food-friendly. 
Drink now-2022.
