Chardonnay 2010 DOC, Giovanni Viberti

Buy now

Coming from cooler northern Italy, this is an amazingly fresh wine, and is exactly the sort-of fantastically crisp and full-boded Chardonnay we all should be drinking. There is a nuttiness in there, with some apricot and a long, honeyed finish which makes it a wine to savour and look impressive in front of your friends, particularly if they like White Burgundy.
