More questions

La Pietra Chardonnay 1995 in magnum format shows a mature, complex profile, the result of long bottle evolution. In the glass it displays an intense golden color with amber highlights; on the nose it develops notes of ripe yellow fruit, honey, dried flowers and a light hazelnut note, accompanied by tertiary hints that tell of the wine's age. The palate is rich and enveloping, with good structure and a balance between roundness and freshness that supports the flavors developed over time.

This bottle is suitable for special occasions or for those seeking a mature Chardonnay, presented in magnum and delivered in a wooden case. Before serving it is advisable to open gently and, if necessary, decant to separate any deposits and let the wine breathe; serving temperature around 10–12 °C. It pairs well with flavorful fish dishes, shellfish, white meats and soft cheeses, offering a tasting experience that rewards slowness and attention to detail.
