Jahrgang 2012
MONTEVERRO CHARDONNAY
This type of vine poses a challenge in Tuscany – although the sea breeze, cool nights, and soil structure make it possible to produce this single varietal white wine in a select few locations. Its crispness and elegant texture are similar to the great examples of Burgundy; it owes its complex aroma to careful work in the vineyard and aging in both barriques and concrete.
A unique Chardonnay from the Tuscan coast, produced in very limited quantities.
"Genuine liquid gold, our Chardonnay 2012 overwhelms the senses with its intensity and unleashes all the aromatic complexity of this sun-filled year."
