La Valle 2000 Zerum Riserva Dosaggio Zero Chardonnay (Franciacorta)

  1. $95
You can taste the age here in the wine’s sophisticated and evolved aromas of butterscotch, caramel, dried fruit and pressed flower petal. In fact, this wine comes from the far away 2000 vintage but has beautifully maintained its fruit characteristics and overall crispness.  — M.L.  (6/1/2010)

La Valle 2004 Satèn Millesimato Brut Chardonnay (Franciacorta)

  1. $36
This wine is a result of careful winemaking in which both oak barrel and aging on the lees is used to render a rounder, creamier feel in the mouth. The excellent 2004 vintage adds fresh notes of apricot and stone fruit to the overall complexity of the nose.  — M.L.  (6/1/2010)
