Moccagatta Langhe Chardonnay, 2021 Bordeaux Rouge not the Reserva & GrandSaline, flint, lemon, white flowers on nose. Palate is crisp and direct with depth in minerals and citrus. Chardonnay made by Barbaresco producer, Moccagatta in the Langhe region of Piedmont. There seems to be a fascination in this region by the Chardonnay of Burgundy this one comes across as a linear, minerally Chablis. The Minuto brothers Sergio and Franco established the estate in the 1950s, naming it "Moccagatta" for the land's historical name.
