Appellation: Toscana IGT Grand Cru
Alcohol: 14% Vol
Grapes: 100% Chardonnay
Serving temperature: 10°C
Longevity: 8-10 years
Climatic trend
The spring rains allowed the vines to draw on good reserves of water and mineral nutrients during the warmer months. In addition, temperatures dropped considerably at night, with an important temperature range that allowed for regular phenolic development. The bunches brought to the cellar maintained perfect integrity so as to express the great character of the grape variety.
Harvest
Harvested by hand, selecting the best Chardonnay grapes from the Poggione vineyard in the last ten days of August.
Vinification
Alcoholic fermentation 50% in cement vats and 50% in tonneaux with batonnage every day for 10 days.
Ageing
Barrique for 12 months with batonnage once a week, second passage.
Tasting Notes
Intense straw yellow colour with golden hues. On the nose notes of apricot, peach, passion fruit and pineapple. On the palate a perfect combination of elegance, richness, fruit and flavour with a sweet vanilla finish. Long persistence.
