In the northernmost reaches of Italy, close to the Austrian border, the dramatic landscape is a fitting backdrop to one of the world’s most important wine-producing areas.
Score: 90Vintage 2020Vinous MediaWhite smoke gives way to nuances of vanilla bean, anise and spiced holiday cookies as the aromatically seductive 2020 Chardonnay opens in the glass. It’s smooth and elegant in feel, with oily textures that are nicely offset by bright acidity, as white stone fruits and hints of custard complete the expression. This tapers off long yet fresh, lingering on sweet inner spices and a nuance of sour melon that balances it all out. This may not be a showstopper Chardonnay, but it instead impresses on its likeability and lovely harmony.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 89Vintage 2019Vinous MediaThe 2019 Chardonnay from Fondazione Edmund Mach is wonderfully spicy and fresh, showing notes of young mango and pear, laced with hints of lime zest and stone dust. It’s pure, lifted and precise, plus full of acid-driven tension, with a hint of sour tropical fruits and citrus that adds further energy. A pleasant note of peach tea with a twang of salty minerality lingers.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
