The 2022 Isole e Olena Collezione Privata Chardonnay is a benchmark Tuscan Chardonnay, crafted from estate vineyards in Chianti Classico and widely regarded as one of Italy’s finest expressions of the varietal. Made using Burgundian techniques with barrel fermentation and lees ageing, it combines richness, precision and elegance.The nose is complex and refined, offering ripe pear, nectarine and citrus layered with buttery notes, toasted brioche and subtle spice from oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a creamy, textured mouthfeel, balancing ripe fruit with fresh acidity and savoury complexity. Flavours of stone fruit, lemon peel and light vanilla lead to a long, polished and slightly mineral finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout premium Chardonnay for customers seeking a Burgundy-style white with both richness and finesse. It’s layered, structured and built to age. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 8–12 years. Perfect with lobster, roast chicken, creamy pasta or fine dining occasions.
