General Description and Longevity

Pietrabianca is the result of a skillful mix of international techniques (use of barrique for Chardonnay) and the enhancement of a native Apulian grape (Fiano in steel). The barrique aging gives structure, complexity, and vanilla notes, while the Fiano provides acidity and freshness, creating a harmonious and persistent wine. Thanks to its structure, Pietrabianca has good aging potential and can be cellared for **3-5 years**, developing tertiary notes of hydrocarbon and honey typical of aged Chardonnay over time.
