Tenuta del Cabreo is a top Tuscan winery, the winery is located in Greve in Chianti. The producer is most notably known for a wine they produce “Il Borgo” an IGT Super Tuscan Blend. The wine always gets great reviews and can be found in many top restaurant’s all over the world. They also produce an incredible Chardonnay, “La Pietra”, which means “Stone”. The grapes for La Pietra come from high elevation vineyards (1476 feet above sea level) that produce grapes with cool climate freshness. These attributes are what make regions such as Burgundy and Sonoma regions that produce the best chardonnays in the world, Higher Altitude, cooler climate.

Tasting Notes: Tenute del Cabreo La Pietra is 100% Chardonnay and comes from vineyards some 500 meters above sea level. La Pietra means “the stone” and indeed there is a lot of rocky minerality running through this wine. Medium gold in color, the aromas of pineapple, pear, creme and lemon grass are persistent. On the palate, the body of the wine is viscous yet balanced with crisp acidity. The juice was aged on the lees for 12 months with occasional stirring in order to build body into the wine. Pineapple and lemon flavors dominate the palate with plenty of acidity for freshness and what I call “streak” minerality.
