Charà Terra D’Otranto DOC 2021
£20.99
13% | 750ml
Just like the mythical figure of the mermaid Charà , part woman and part sea
creature, so its namesake wine has two parts to it in separate fermentation and ageing processes: one part in concrete eggs to bring out minerality and another in barriques to lend captivating structure. The result is a complex and dynamic wine able to fascinate and bewitch as did the legendary siren.
Why we love this:
As well as the Chardonnay, they also use the local grape Bianco di Alliandra in the blend. This adds interesting aromatics and a freshness to the wine.
