Bodega Chacra was founded in 2004 by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, the Grandson of the creator of Sassicaia. What makes this particular Chardonnay so good was the fact that Piero consulted the famed white Burgundy producer, Jean-Marc Roulot to help him create the best quality Chardonnay possible. Coming from 40-year-old vines on mineral soils and fermented with indigenous yeasts in a mixture of mix of 75% French oak barrels from Roulot's domaine in Mersualt, and the rest in clay amphorae, and concrete eggs. 75% of the wine matured in barrel for nine months, while 25% of the volume was kept in concrete for that time. This is a subtle and elegant Chardonnay with an energetic saline sensation while also having a velvety mouthfeel.
