The 2022 Balletto 'Unoaked' Chardonnay from Russian River Valley is a vibrant and pure expression of the varietal. It opens with aromas of crisp green apple, lemon zest, and a touch of white peach. On the palate, it’s fresh and lively, with flavors of citrus, melon, and a hint of minerality, all supported by a bright acidity. Without oak influence, the wine’s natural fruit character shines through, making it an excellent pairing for grilled seafood, salads, or creamy pasta dishes.
