Wine review: Montarquarto's Chardonnay emanates a straw yellow color with golden accents. On the nose, it is persistent with notes of white flowers and fresh peaches. The taste is elegant and harmonic, while still maintaining a full-bodied presence. Best served with appetizers and light dishes.
My review: I really enjoyed this white wine, ranking it an 8 out of 10. It had a very soft, yellow color to it and nice aromas of sweet, local fruits. It also tasted sweet, mostly like peaches and green grapes. It was not acidic and did not have much heat, with 12.5% alcohol, so it's body was moderate and balanced. I paired it with Italian appetizers, like fried mozzarella, zucchini, and mushrooms, which worked perfectly. I would definitely try this white again.
