This wine was born from the challenge of creating a Tuscan wine inspired by Burgundy, yet with a clear Mediterranean character.

We wanted a wine that would express the strength that sunlight gives to Chardonnay grown at these latitudes, without compromising the freshness of its aromas or the balance between sapidity and acidity.

Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in an oval cask gives the wine intense aromas of citrus and acacia. In addition, bâtonnage on the fine lees for 8 months lends it a solid structure and notes of ripe fruit that complete the minerality imparted by the soil.
