Tasting notes

Bright straw yellow. Aromas of ripe pear, citrus and white peach meet hazelnut and a gentle toasty note from the barrels. The palate is creamy yet fresh, with good minerality and a long, elegant finish. Serve chilled but not ice-cold, so the aromas and the texture can fully open in the glass.

About this wine

Isole e Olena, founded in 1956 by Francesco De Marchi, became one of the leaders of the modern quality revival of Chianti Classico under his son Paolo, who took over in 1976. The estate first made this Chardonnay in 1987 from selected French clones grafted onto white varieties already growing on the property.

The grapes come from vineyards at 350-400 metres facing north-west, on limestone, marl and galestro. Fermentation takes place in small oak barrels, about 30% new, followed by extended contact with the fine lees. The producers themselves call it an "unexpected" wine: a Tuscan Chardonnay of freshness and aromatic elegance.
