2025 Borgo Molino I Ciari Chardonnay DOC Venezia

Uncork the charm of northeast Italy with the 2025 Borgo Molino ‘I Ciari’ Chardonnay DOC Venezia. Crafted in the heart of Veneto, this unoaked expression highlights the pure, vibrant character of 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in nutrient-rich alluvial soils near the Adriatic coast. Shimmering pale straw-yellow in the glass, ‘I Ciari’ opens with delicate, inviting aromas of crisp green apple, juicy golden pear, and hints of white peach framed by subtle floral tones. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious balance of creamy texture and lively freshness, finishing clean with an elegant, mouthwatering mineral streak.
