Vintage 2015
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.
"Our Chardonnay 2015 is proving to be a great classic, the result of a great harvest of small grapes packed with flavour. The best years of this 2015 wine are yet to come, so leave a few boxes in the cellar for the future. "
