From Altesino in Italy's Montalcino region, the Bianco Toscana 2024 is a refined 100% Chardonnay sourced from estate vineyards on calcareous-clay soils that capture the area's sunny disposition and cooling breezes. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2024 vintage—marked by moderate temperatures yielding fresh, concentrated fruit—undergo gentle pressing and fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by brief lees aging to enhance texture without oak influence. Committed to sustainable practices since its founding in 1975, this production yields a pale straw wine with greenish highlights and remarkable purity.
Tasting Notes An elegant, aromatic white with fresh citrus and floral vibrancy, reflecting Tuscany's Mediterranean terroir. The nose reveals lemon zest, white peach, acacia flowers, and hints of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is light-bodied and refreshing, with bright acidity, delicate texture, and flavors of green apple, citrus peel, and a touch of minerality, leading to a crisp, lingering finish.
Awards and Accolades
91 Points - James Suckling "A rich nose of crushed lemons, yellow apples, pear skins and savory herbs. The medium-bodied palate is round and textured with good fruit concentration and a tangy, citrus-driven finish. Drink now or hold."
Serving and Cellaring Serve chilled at 8-10°C without decanting to preserve vibrancy. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, light salads, or goat cheese. Enjoy now through 2029, during which it will develop subtle honeyed notes.
