Single vineyard Chardonnay from vines originally planted in 2001 on the lower slopes, terraces and flat, old riverbed of la collina vineyard. It has always been the plan to produce a flagship Chardonnay from the la collina vineyard, reflecting the variety and the vineyard site rather than the winemaking.

Reviews
VINOUS - Rebecca Gibb MW: 97/100 & #93 Top 100 Wines 2024. I am sure that the vast majority of our readers will not have heard of Bilancia, but this is one of those wines that should encourage everyone to sit up and take notice. The Chardonnay Tiratore screams class. The 2021 Chardonnay Tiratore La Collina Vineyard is a wine of substance that’s held within a corset of acidity and well-handled phenolics. It’s all about compact power. Its flavors are not dictated by fruit but more savory, nuanced character. There’s some attractive reduction here in the form of a pinch of saltiness, which combines with classy hazelnut-like French oak notes, ground almonds and nectarine. If I were looking to show a new discovery to other wine collectors, I would have this in my backpack.
Erin Larkin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 95/100. The 2021 Tiratore Chardonnay is powerful and concentrated, but it is also superbly balanced. This is rich and dense and undulates over the palate with salt and richness…kaleidoscopic, really. There’s curry leaf, yellow peach, saffron, grapefruit, preserved citrus rind and even a hint of warm sourdough crust. It’s a ripper of a wine. There’s a really long draw of flavor across the palate. This is most important. It is sapid and staining. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2035.
Bob Campbell, MW (The Real Review): 95/100. Seductively creamy-textured chardonnay with intense citrus/grapefruit, vanilla, hazelnut and spicy oak flavours. Youthful wine with cellaring potential.
Tasting Note:
Ripe, full fruit with complexity perfectly balances with the oak. Great structure with a taut and textural palate. Citrus and stone-fruit with a hint of salinity. It is an ideal food wine.

Additional information

Winemaking: The fruit is 100% hand-picked, whole bunch pressed to French oak barriques for Fermentation by indigenous yeast. The wine spent 11 months in oak prior to bottling; there was no fining or cold stabilisation. There were no additives other than sulphur.
The name Tiratore: tiratore Italian (to-ra-tó-re) hunter/marksman. When planting these vines, old, spent bullets were found in almost every hole dug
on the slope of la collina; we imagine this area was used for many years as a
firing range for target practice.
