Territory and wine style

This IGT Tuscany is made from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier, sourced from small vineyards of the estate. The Tuscan context, close to the sea, contributes to an expressive and dynamic profile, with a natural fresh tension that supports the maturity of the fruit. The 2016 vintage favored concentrated and rich grapes, thanks to sunny days and cool nights, elements that helped preserve the wine's aromatic intensity and acidity.

On the palate, it shows a broad and enveloping entry, with a sensation of richness well balanced by intense and juicy acidity. The finish is fresh, persistent, and harmonious, with a present but never heavy structure, consistent with a style of great finesse and precision.

Recommended pairings
