Product details
Toscana IGT Chardonnay 2019 Capannelle
Description
Toscana Chardonnay is produced by the Capannelle winery, located in the hills around Gaiole in Chianti, a splendid Tuscan village in the province of Siena. The company, whose foundation dates back to the 1970s, now manages 16 hectares of vineyards.
It is made entirely from hand-picked and selected Chardonnay grapes. The vinification takes place in steel vats at a controlled temperature, while for the subsequent ageing, 20% matures in new barriques for about 10 months and the remaining 80% in steel.
Toscana Chardonnay is characterized by a deep straw yellow colour with golden and crystalline reflections. The nose offers intense aromas ranging from flint to mineral, enriched by hints of pear, almond, citrus and toasted bread on the finish. On the palate it is pleasantly dry and with a pleasant acidity.
It is a wine that allows bold combinations, fatty or very spicy foods such as shellfish, important fish, sushi or salmon. It is excellent when paired with aged and particularly tasty cheeses.
