Il Bianco Sauvignon Blanc 2018

White wines usually play a minor role in Tuscany. We are all the more proud of our Il Bianco, which gets even better with each year.

The grapes – 90% Sauvignon Blanc from Radda and 10% Viognier from Maremma – are only harvested in the early hours of the morning so that they get into the cellar nice and cool. There we let them ferment spontaneously after twelve hours of contact with the mash at 16 degrees.

By preventing the malolactic fermentation, we get a wonderfully fresh wine, which thanks to the five-month aging on the yeast (⅓ in barriques, ⅔ in steel tanks) has an excellent structure. Gooseberry and grapefruit aromas at the beginning and floral notes in the finish characterize the Il Bianco.
