Chardonnay 2018 Toscana IGT Capannelle

Chardonnay 2018 Toscana IGT Capannelle is a Tuscan white wine with personality, made from 100% Chardonnay grapes and designed to combine freshness, softness, and aromatic complexity. The Capannelle winery interprets this international grape variety with a balanced style, capable of enhancing both the fruity component and the more refined nuances derived from aging.

Territory and wine style

The Toscana IGT designation offers great expressive freedom, and in this case, it allows the Chardonnay to showcase a modern profile while remaining connected to the territory. The vinification in temperature-controlled steel tanks preserves clarity and aromatic precision, while part of the aging in new barriques for 10 months adds volume and a pleasant spicy imprint. The result is a structured but not heavy white, where the richness of the grape harmonizes with freshness and sapidity.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense straw yellow. On the nose, hints of honey, lavender, white almond, and broom flowers emerge, accompanied by notes of exotic fruit. The palate is fresh, savory, and creamy, with a broad and enveloping flavor profile. The finish recalls a delicate note of vanilla, which adds roundness and makes the overall profile elegant and persistent.

Recommended pairings

This Chardonnay Toscana IGT pairs easily with structured fish dishes, shellfish, baked preparations, and flavorful seafood pasta dishes. It is also excellent with white meats, creamy risottos, gratin vegetables, and medium-aged cheeses. Its creamy component and good sapidity make it suitable for recipes with delicate sauces and dishes that require a fuller-bodied white.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate the Chardonnay 2018 Toscana IGT Capannelle, a serving temperature of 10-12 °C is recommended. If served at an early stage of the meal or with richer dishes, a few minutes in the glass helps to fully express the bouquet and the creamier part of the wine. Long aeration is not necessary.
