Vermentino Chardonnay Toscana IGT

VERMENTINO CHARDONNAY MONTECCHIESI

Tenuta Montecchiesi

Denomination

Vermentino Chardonnay Toscana IGT
Description

Tenuta Montecchiesi's white wine: its vineyards are located in Montecchio, at 270 metres above sea level. Vermentino is the indigenous white grape par excellence of central Italy. Here we wanted to create a blend of Vermentino and Chardonnay, where the Mediterranean notes of Vermentino such as hawthorn and rosemary are combined with fresher scents such as tangerine. A blend with plenty of sapidity.
Vinification

The clusters are gently pressed and the must gravity-settled for clarity. After inoculation with cultured yeasts, the must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.
Maturation

A minimum of 3 months in steel, with once-weekly bâttonage of the fine lees, followed by a 45-day bottle-ageing.
Sensory profile

Intense straw yellow, with gold highlights. A generous bouquet marries notes of Mediterranean hawthorn blossom and rosemary to crisper impressions of mandarin orange and pencil lead. On the palate, it exhibits stylish grace and superb balance, concluding with a finish marked by ripe fruit and a tangy vein of mineral.
Serving suggestions

Entrees, lighter meats, dishes of fish and shellfish, and vegetarian first courses.
