Frequently asked about Borgo del Tiglio Chardonnay Selezione
What does Borgo del Tiglio Chardonnay Selezione taste like?
Yellow apple, vanilla, almond cream, honey and white peach on the nose; yellow stone fruit, patisserie cream, lemon pith and a saline finish on the palate. Full-bodied with high acidity and a long finish.
How does this compare to white Burgundy?
Borgo del Tiglio Chardonnay Selezione draws on the oak-led barrique idiom of white Burgundy with Collio ponca minerality. Patisserie cream and almond aromatics over a saline finish; structurally closer to a village-level Cote de Beaune than a generic oaked Chardonnay.
When should I drink Chardonnay Selezione?
Drink between 3 and 15 years from vintage. The wine cellars well; patisserie cream aromatics deepen with age from year 5 onwards.
