Costa Toscana Bianco I.G.T.
Viognier 100%
This is a broad, intense and enveloping Viognier, which owes its refined but versatile character to skilful practices aimed at preserving its freshness and varietal aromas. The 2019 harvest presented ideal conditions for its debut at the pinnacle of a meticulous viticultural management project bringing together experimental winemaking techniques. These include, in addition to modern steel vats, the use of terracotta amphorae and French oak barrels which, respectively, successfully confer freshness, verticality and structure.
Climate Trend
The winter of 2008/2009 was harsh and rainy. The rainfall accumulation meant there were sufficient water reserves for the summer. A hot spring without excessive temperature changes ensured uniform and regular budding, an important foundation for the entire vegetative phase. A very hot summer with little rainfall allowed the grapes to ripen in perfect health and quality.

vinification
Soft pressing of the previously cooled grapes; the vinification begins with a maceration on the skins at a controlled temperature. Towards the end of this phase, the must is separated, and fermentation is completed in steel vats, terracotta amphorae and French oak barrels.
ageing
In French oak (30%), amphora (30%) and stainless steel (40%) on fine lees with battonage until August of the following year. Blended in stainless steel talks, where it rests for a few months before concluding with a proper bottle ageing.
