Succulent ripe peaches intermingle with subtle notes of oak, flowers, honey and minerals as the 2006 Contessa Entellina Chiaranda (50% Inzolia, 50% Chardonnay) flows from the glass. Made in a ripe, full-bodied style, the wine offers excellent balance in a generous and inviting style. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2011.
This is a very strong showing from Donnafugata and the Rallo family. The wines this year show notable balance and class.
