2023 Collezione Privata Chardonnay Toscana Isole e Olena

This is a wine in evolution. For one, the wine's name has changed under new management with the removal of the words "Collezione Privata," which readers may remember. The Isole e Olena 2023 Chardonnay is softly textured and rich with cooked apricot, baked apple, breakfast pastry and light spice. It is fermented and aged in oak with fruit from a dedicated six-hectare plot with a mix of calcareous marl and galestro shale, soil types that lock in freshness and perfumes. This is always a standout Tuscan white wine thanks to its pure intensity and carefully measured mid-weight intensity.
