State/Country, Region, Place: Italy, Piedmont, Monforte d'Alba (CN)

White, dry, still wine
Grape Varieties: 100% Chardonnay
Aging: 16 months in barrique.

The estate handpicks its Chardonnay grapes and vinifies them in temperature-controlled stainless steel for four days; the wine both ferments and ages in new oak barriques for a total of 16 months, and the wine rests in bottle for one year before release.
The Bussiador is a wine with a good structure and good body, and so it can stand a long ageing.
Rich notes of butter and honey frame the wine’s ripe stone fruits, while white wildflowers, citrus zest and crushed river rocks provide a pretty, vibrant counterpoint.
