Palate
Pleasantly seductive and subtle, with creamy, toasty oak nuances. Flavors of pear, butterscotch and honeydew melon glide along gracefully on the finish.
Growing Conditions
Carsi Vineyard lies about thirteen miles south of the winery, in a wide, flat basin just north of the town of Napa. It's a cooler zone of heavier soils where Chardonnay does exceptionally well. V. Sattui purchased the land in 1989 and invested heavily in soil amendments, fertilization and trellising of the existing vines before naming it after my great-grandfather Vittorio's Italian village in the mountains above Genoa. We began to produce some excellent Chardonnays in just a short time.
Bottling
This magnum is 1.5L, equal to 2 regular wine bottles, and serves 6-8 people.
