Wine Isole e Olena, “Collezione De Marchi” Chardonnay, Toscana IGT, 2022

Description

The 2022 vintage of “Collezione De Marchi” Chardonnay is marked by the preservation of the classic Burgundy style with some modern accents. The grapes are harvested from high altitude sites with a cool microclimate, which gives the wine fresh, lively acidity and expressive minerality.

In 2022, fermentation and aging also took place in oak barrels, with a slightly reduced proportion of new barrels to highlight the natural fruitiness and finesse of the wine. Aging on the lees continued for 12 months, with regular stirring for the first six months – this process remains unchanged and provides the wine with a velvety texture and complex bouquet. After barrel aging, the wine matured in the bottle for several months, which adds depth and harmony.

Overall, the 2022 vintage demonstrates a balance between freshness, structure and elegance, offering a modern take on the traditional “Collezione De Marchi” style of Chardonnay .
