Jahrgang 2017
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.
"A wine with a sublime ability to reflect the sunlight of Maremma. Fresh and crunchy notes intersect in a pure light of honey, lemon shortcrust, perfect blonde grapes, mountain aromas. Evocative, telling us the ability of our winemaker who simultaneously keep Chardonnay an elegant and sunny wine."
