Pietrabianca Chardonnay, Castel del Monte, Bocca del Lupo 2023 - Half Dozen



£177.00

A portion of the Chardonnay is fermented and aged in oak, the rest in stainless steel along with around 10% Fiano. This is immediately appealing and carries a real sense of place with a wonderful mix of citrus fruits from grapefruit to mandarin, fruit blossom, almond, wildflowers and scrub herbs over a lip- smacking savoury/mineral vein. Lively and fresh, eminently drinkable with some subtle supporting oak, and structured enough to offer some short-term development. But you’re going to love it this summer!

A great, elegant Chardonnay showing what a versatile grape this is, even in Puglia in the south of Italy producing crisp, mineral wines but that show the depth from southern sun.

Antinori

The Antinori family have been involved in winemaking for over six hundred years, since Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Winemakers’ Guild in 1385. Throughout 26 generations, the family has always managed the business making innovative and courageous choices, whilst respecting tradition and the land. Until the 1960s Antinori had in addition to vineyards cultivated cereals and fruit trees.

The years following WWII proved hugely challenging for Italy, many historic vineyards fell into neglect and new plantings of poorer quality vines gave rise to poorer quality wines. In 1966 Piero Antinori, 25th generation of the Antinori family, took over from his father Niccolò and set his mind to reviving the fortunes of not just Tuscan but Italian wines in general. Two decades of big investments, bankrolled by several huge financial gambles, paid off and have seen the company blossom into Marchese Piero Antinori’s extraordinary vision. He has been a hugely influential and inspirational figure, and the catalyst for so many of the leaps and seismic changes in Italian winemaking. They have been a major force in getting Italian wine noticed and in bringing about the regulation changes that improved the quality of wine from Chianti. Antinori estates and vineyards can be found across Chianti and in Orvieto. Tenuta Tignanello is their flagship estate, where their legendary Tignanello and Solaia are made. After decades of Marchese Piero Antinori heading up the company, today his daughter Albiera Antinori is the company's president and is closely assisted by her sisters Allegra and Alessia.
