Chardonnay Botanico, Familia Zuccardi 2024

The 2024 Chardonnay Botanico from Gualtallary spent 10 months in concrete. More fruit-driven and sun-kissed than the Fósil tasted alongside, it displays baked apple notes and accents of field herbs. Broad and creamy, the 2024 offers tension and chalky undertones with vibrant energy. This is a Chardonnay that combines Gualtallary's exuberance with Zuccardi's precise winemaking style. 2025-2038.

"This has a timid nose of grapefruit zest, stony austerity, white pepper and a pleasant herbal note. The palate is tense and austere, with a thin, compact veil of fruit that shows itself toward the finish, with a very tight texture and underlying salinity. This comes from a single parcel with extremely poor soil and high levels of calcium carbonate. Drink now."
