Pietrabianca Chardonnay DOC Bio 2024 by Tormaresca (Antinori) is a white wine that combines Mediterranean freshness with the refinement of Chardonnay, organically grown on the Bocca di Lupo estate. This bright straw yellow with greenish reflections releases a bouquet of green apple, pear, white flowers and a touch of citrus, with a mineral note that recalls the calcareous soil of the Murgia plateau. On the palate it is lively and well-balanced, with a pleasant acidity and a fresh and persistent finish. The 2024 vintage, fresh and promising, makes this Chardonnay a versatile and light wine, perfect for aperitifs or to accompany fish dishes, with immediate drinkability and a possible evolution until 2028.

 Production Method The Chardonnay grapes come from organic vineyards of the Bocca di Lupo estate, on clayey-calcareous soils at 400 meters above sea level, with favorable exposure. Manual harvest at the end of August, with morning picking to preserve freshness. The grapes are soft pressed and the must cold decanted, followed by fermentation in steel at a controlled temperature (16-18 °C) for 15-20 days. The refinement takes place entirely in steel for 6 months on the lees, without contact with wood, to maintain the purity of the aromas, followed by 3 months in the bottle.

 Pairings Raw fish, shellfish, seafood risotto, grilled vegetables, fresh cheeses.
