Tasting notes
The 2007 Chardonnay Collezione De Marchi is a rich yet medium-bodied wine bursting with varietal tropical fruit layered into notes of French oak and minerals. This is one of the few Tuscan Chardonnays that offers exceptional balance and tons of pedigree. It is a wonderful effort from Paolo De Marchi.

The 2007 Chardonnay Collezione De Marchi is a rich yet medium-bodied wine bursting with varietal tropical fruit layered into notes of French oak and minerals. This is one of the few Tuscan Chardonnays that offers exceptional balance and tons of pedigree. It is a wonderful effort from Paolo De Marchi. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015. Proprietor Paolo De Marchi is one of Tuscany’s most inspired growers. As is often the case, the wines are very strong across the board.
