Father's Eyes is a 100% Chardonnay expression from Di Lenardo. A smoky Chardonnay that connects Friuli with the US, being aged in American Oak barriques. You'll notice notes of hazelnut and vanilla with backgrounds notes of creamy apple pastry, as well as a lemon meringue. A richer style but that does meet some refreshing acidity with the citrus notes.
