Another outstanding vintage of this excellent Southern Italian white. A blend of Chardonnay (60%), Fiano (20%) and Wild Muscatel (20%). Golden straw color. Aromas of peaches, lemon, white flowers and vanilla. The palate features a mix of citrus fruits, spices and minerals. A little more noticeable vanilla and oak on the finish than prior vintages. Nice creamy texture and crisp acidity. Rich, expressive and thirst quenching. Revisited in January 2024. Still excellent!

Pretty good with nice complexity but still a bit boozy..

Mar 2nd, 2023Quality wine with a wide array of (tropical/ripe) fruits. An aromatic twist; viognierish, with ripe peaches and apricot. Some minerals and a decent acidity. Unfortunately the 13,5% undermines that complexity with a burny bitter heat.. too bad because initially a complete and interesting wine.

Brilliant Chardonnay with lovely texture and not relying on oak. With fried chicken burger, a fine match!

Aug 14th, 2021A very pleasant and unexpected Puglian surprise! 80% Chardonnay, 15% Muscatel, 5% Fiano. Straw yellow color. Aromas of citrus and white flowers. Lemon/Lime and peach flavors with a hint of vanilla and dried herbs. Creamy texture. (Aged on the lees?). Betting this wine saw some neutral oak. Crisp and smooth with hints of mineral and sweetness on the finish. Solid QPR! l want more! Revisited in July 2020. Absolutely fantastic! Revisited again in May 2023. Still lively and fresh! Thanks for sharing your last bottle of Edda, Kieth S!

16/20 (89/100) Насыщенный аромат с нотами личи, цветов, луговых трав, апельсиновых цукатов и ананаса. Умеренная кислотность и заметная спиртуозность во вкусе - нужно хорошенько охладить. Яркое, интересное вино.
