Isole E Olena, Collezione Privata Chardonnay, 2021
🏰Isole e Olena's Collezione Privata Chardonnay 2021 is a 【world-class Tuscan Chardonnay that rivals top white wines globally】, showcasing exceptional minerality, freshness, and pure varietal expression, having started as a vineyard experiment. The 2021 vintage was a challenging year with a mild winter and wet spring, but a dry summer with some August rain. Despite this, the resulting wines are complex, with layers of fruit and surprising freshness. This light greenish-gold Chardonnay offers aromatic, spicy, and buttery perfumes. The palate balances ripe fruit, fresh bread crust, and a hint of oak spice, leading to a long, slightly citrus finish. Expect notes of grapefruit, preserved lemon, cinnamon, saffron, peach, apple, and baking spice, with a creamy texture and tangy pineapple.
🍴 This elegant white wine is a fantastic pairing for oven-roasted savory game hens, rich seafood, or creamy pasta dishes.
🥂 Ideal for a sophisticated lunch or an evening aperitif. Serve chilled, around 10-12°C (50-54°F), to best appreciate its intricate flavors and refreshing acidity.
BACKGROUND
Isole e Olena is a pioneering estate in Chianti Classico, led by the visionary Paolo De Marchi. While famous for elevating Sangiovese, De Marchi also experimented with international varieties. The 'Collezione Privata' Chardonnay is a testament to his skill, often considered one of Italy's finest white wines. Fermented and aged in French oak, it offers a rich, Burgundian-inspired profile with aromas of ripe orchard fruit, toasted hazelnuts, and butter, balanced by a vibrant acidity.
