The winery's history covers seven generations of Italian winemaking tradition. In 1924, Angelo Cetto came from Italy to Mexico, creating Bodegas Cetto in 1928. Luis AgustÃn Cetto led the way, then his son Luis Alberto Cetto, and today the seventh generation is carrying on the family legacy.
The 2022 L.A. Cetto Estate Bottled Chardonnay has alcohol at 13% abv and sells regularly for $16. I paid $5 at a sale run by Pavilions Market.
This wine is yellow-gold in the glass. Aromas of apple, apricot and mango are tinged with a bit of funky earthiness. The palate shows ripe fruit and oak effect which are nicely balanced. The mouthfeel is lush and creamy, and acidity is in the medium range. The aftertaste leaves apple and citrus notes. Salad is an easy pairing, but I'd love it with a creamy risotto.
