The 2006 Terre di Franciacorta Chardonnay is very pretty in this vintage. Ripe varietal fruit is intermingled with sweet scents of French oak and minerals as this focused Chardonnay opens up in the glass. The 2006 is a somewhat understated version of this wine, but the balance and overall harmony are impressive. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2014.
