Settesoli Seven Suns tasting


Name: Settesoli Seven Suns
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Sicilia (Sicily)
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $22

Winery review: At Settesoli we have been growing vines for generations. We understand the tremendous gift that we have received from nature; nurturing our soil, producing top quality grapes and creating wines with distinctive character is our way to pay tribute to our beautiful land. This Chardonnay is buttery, with apple fruit and a hint of caramel. Medium bodied, yet with pleasant freshness and a hint of minerality. 

My review: A wonderful Chardonnay. A hint of buttery flavors, but not overpowering and blended well with fruit flavors. Fruit flavors like hints of peach and apple. Aromas of light fruit and good, rich color in the wine. A smooth and refreshing Chardonnay. I would most definitely have this again. 

I tasted this wine on its own, without food.
