The only wine white wine from Mattebella that did not seem to be filtered was their 2012 Femiglia Chardonnay. There seemed to be a little evidence of sediment in the glass.

Bottom Row 2nd from the Left 2012 Famiglia Chardonnay

Like most of their wines the 2012 Femiglia Chardonnay was aged in oak for half of its aging process so you could smell the oak when you nose the wine and taste it on the palate. Unlike the other wines the 2012 Famiglia Chardonnay had an aroma of honeysuckle. The tannin’s were light. There was an unexpected taste of apples on my plate that was not foreseen from me nosing the wine. I would pare this wine with a dish that contained sweet potatoes.
