Stefano Lubiana ‘Collina’ Chardonnay 2022 le-grand-cros finesse and fragrance all playingWe make our Chardonnay like the wines we like to drink; we don't follow trends like early picking, for example. We like Chardonnay with delicacy, good natural acid drive, nice evident mid palate weight, good length and a whiff of gun smoke and not too much fresh "Chardonnay" character, so the wine is more minerality rather than simply fruity.
