Jahrgang 2019
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.
"The Silver Coast inside the glass," is how we can describe the 2019 Chardonnay. Notes of iodine and white-fleshed fruit leading into a Rossinian "crescendo" punctuated with applause.
