The 2022 Sangiacomo Chardonnay has a beautiful full gold core. The aromatics leap out of the bottle upon opening. There is a range of fruit on the nose from bosc pear and apricot to guava and passionfruit. In addition, there is some jasmine spice and rosewater perfume. The wine is very rich this year, with the stone fruit and soapstone minerality prevailing on the pallet. The acidity is present but softer than in previous years. A wonderful expressive wine in its youth, this wine will age nicely over the next 5-6 years (2028-2029).
