Known for his iconic \u003cem data-start=\"502\" data-end=\"514\"\u003eCepparello\u003c\/em\u003e made from pure Sangiovese, De Marchi began experimenting with Chardonnay in the late 1980s, planting five Burgundian clones on the estate. Over the years, the wine has become a cult bottling — produced in small quantities and quickly sold out after release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"776\" data-end=\"1017\"\u003eThe grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in oak barrels, one-third of which are new. The wine then ages for 10–12 months on the fine lees with periodic stirring (\u003cem data-start=\"941\" data-end=\"952\"\u003ebâtonnage\u003c\/em\u003e), a technique borrowed from the great white wines of Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1019\" data-end=\"1259\"\u003eThe 2019 vintage delivers a Chardonnay of precision and harmony — with aromas of pear, stone fruit, honey, toasted almond, and subtle minerality. On the palate, it is rich yet finely balanced, with fresh acidity and a long, chalky finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1261\" data-end=\"1501\"\u003eAccording to \u003cem data-start=\"1274\" data-end=\"1293\"\u003eThe Wine Advocate\u003c\/em\u003e (95 points): “The 2019 Chardonnay Collezione Privata is a real achievement, showcasing varietal purity and textural importance in equal measure… This is one of the best Chardonnays to be found in Tuscany.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1624\"\u003eA refined, complex Chardonnay that bridges Burgundy and Tuscany — crafted with patience, depth, and remarkable balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1716\"\u003eRegion: Italy, Tuscany\u003cbr data-start=\"1648\" data-end=\"1651\"\u003eGrape: 100% Chardonnay\u003cbr data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"1676\"\u003eAlcohol: 14%\u003cbr data-start=\"1688\" data-end=\"1691\"\u003eProducer: Isole e Olena\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1718\" data-end=\"1882\"\u003eETIKET offers a curated selection of premium Italian wines.
