€ 30.00
The Rigoloccio terroir is particularly suited for red wines, this pure Chardonnay vinified and aged in barrique barrels of French oak combines an aromatic richness and notable texture with an unmistakable minerality thanks to its proximity to the sea. The wine is a tribute to the Mistral wind, which blows from the northwest and mitigates afternoon temperatures.
