The wine

La Pietra 2006: The Soul of Chardonnay in Tuscany

Imagine for a moment a Tuscan chardonnay, not the one you expect, but a wine that has managed to stand the test of time with rare elegance. This 2006 vintage from Folonari is an invitation to rediscover this grape variety from an unexpected angle, an authentic gem that I can't wait to have you explore.

Panzano in Chianti, the birthplace of a unique expression

It is in the heart of Panzano in Chianti, on the lands of the Tenuta Casa di Sala, also known as Tenute del Cabreo, that this wine takes root. This estate, Folonari, has managed to cultivate chardonnay there with an approach all its own, far from clichés. The initial fermentation takes place in steel tanks, preserving the purity of the fruit, before a passage in wood halfway through, a key step in refining its structure and complexity.

In your glass, you will discover a straw-yellow color, dotted with light mature nuances that betray its age with dignity. On the nose, this Chardonnay reveals a fascinating aromatic palette: notes of chamomile and dried tea blend with honey and sage, while aromatic herbs and a hint of lemon zest bring an unexpected freshness. You will also perceive scents of white-fleshed fruit and citrus, all enveloped in subtle evolved nuances, testaments to its vintage. On the palate, it offers a balanced body, lively acidity and a pleasant persistence that highlights the fruity sensations without ever being overwhelming. Its texture is soft, harmoniously combining body and freshness, with a finish of moderate sapidity.

Gourmet pairings and special moments

To fully appreciate this La Pietra 2006, I suggest serving it at a temperature of 10 to 12 °C. It will be an ideal companion for fish dishes, delicate shellfish or even poultry. Feel free to pair it with soft cheeses for a complete tasting experience. Whether for an informal tasting among friends or to accompany a more elaborate menu, this wine will know how to stand out. It is a bottle that lends itself wonderfully to special occasions, and its presentation in a wooden case makes it an elegant gift. A true invitation to savor the present moment, with the unmistakable touch of Tuscany.

In Panzano, Folonari ferments this Chardonnay in a steel tank before moving it to wood halfway through: a nice detour for this grape variety. With a 2006 vintage, check the storage conditions carefully before you commit.
