Troppo Sparkling Chardonnay

Unico Zelo

'Troppo', Italian for 'too much', is a reference to the glut of great fruit in Australia available to purchase since markets have not been kind to this incredible wine region. Unico Zelo makes a number of these beautiful sippers that deliver beyond their price point time and again. The Sparkling Chardonnay is one of my go to's — I grab a bottle from the basement on my way to a party or bbq and crack it with abandon so everyone can have a splash of a real wine made real well before getting into it. It's the kind of wine that reminds you why Chardonnay holds the throne. An effortless beauty, incredibly well balanced, clean, fresh, juicy, and immensely likeable.
