The 2008 Chardonnay Formigar is rather mute in this vintage. It shows good body and richness, but the aromas and flavors never fully take shape in the glass. This doesn’t look to be one of the more exciting vintages for one of Alto Adige’s most interesting Chardonnays. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. Alto Adige is a region full of high-quality cooperatives, but few are as consistent as Colterenzio-Schreckbichl. Importers: Empire Merchants, LLC, New York, NY; tel.
