More About This Wine
About Martinelli Vineyards
Martinelli Winery is truly a creation born out of love. Founders Giuseppe and Luisa Martinelli eloped from their native Tuscany in 1895, with little more than their knowledge of winemaking, and set out to make a life in the new world. Over a century later, we can safely say that they succeeded.

Light yellow-gold. Fresh, mineral-tinged tangerine, quince and sweet butter on the nose, with a gentle floral quality building with air. Green apple, citrus fruit and toasted brioche flavors are deepened by iodine and lees, and perked up by excellent back-end lift and cut. Nothing heavy or loose-knit here but this chardonnay packs a serious punch.
