Nottetempo 100 Barrique Chardonnay Salento IGP
Puglia · Italy·Vintage 2023
Tasting note
Clear and intense yellow color. On the nose aromas of exotic fruits, chestnut honey, toasted hazelnuts, and a hint of lemon cream. On the palate, it is full, soft, and structured, with a balance of fresh acidity and savory qualities that complement the ripe, sweet fruit flavors. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lingering sweet vanilla note.

Cellino San Marco · Salento, PugliaFounded 1970s120 ha of vineyardlevignedisammarco.com
Le Vigne di Sammarco is the Rizzello family's estate at Cellino San Marco in the Salento, built up over three generations since grandfather Marco chose to bottle his own wine in the 1970s. The family farms 200 hectares, 120 of them under vine, with most of the land given to the native Salento grapes Negroamaro, Primitivo, Malvasia Nera and Susumaniello. The range runs from an everyday Classica line to the Nottetempo Chardonnay cru and the oak-aged Selezione wines.
