Enhanced with 10% Fiano, the 2013 Castel del Monte Chardonnay Pietrabianca is a clean and luminous expression with a pretty assembly of fruity and floral aromas on the bouquet. It is aged in barrique for five months, but any oak tones are barely perceptible. Instead, you get great intensity with peach cobbler, honeydew melon, citrus and pear. In the mouth, Pietrabianca delivers moderate consistency and an almost-creamy feel. The wine's body is light enough to pair with fresh fish and vegetables. It never feels too heavy and that is its greatest achievement.
