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
Another vintage worth remembering, described by many as one of the earliest harvests in Bolgheri. After a rather mild winter, albeit affected by abundant rainfall, spring was marked by average rainfall and encouraged uniform growth of the shoots, which had already appeared in early March. Summer was breezy and dry with some refreshing rainfall at the beginning of September, which allowed the grapes to ripen in perfect health. During the pre-harvest period, high-temperature variations between day and night favoured phenolic and aromatic maturation, keeping the acidity high. The 2016 vintage promises intriguing wines with distinct varietal characteristics, with good structure and great ageing prospects.

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.
