Jahrgang 2016
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.
"Vibrant and pure, this is how our Chardonnay can be described in the 2016 vintage. With its precise texture that is declined in fine and subtle aromas of pear, citrus, orange blossom, granite, this wine shows a precise structure supported by an infinite freshness. The brightness of the precious stone without any impurities.."
