Tasting notes
Pale straw yellow. The nose offers fresh white and yellow-fleshed fruit, citrus zest, white flowers and a light mineral note. The palate is crisp and clean, with the freshness of Vermentino balancing the roundness of Chardonnay, and a pleasant, slightly saline finish that invites another glass.
About this wine
Tenuta Il Poggione is one of the historic estates of Montalcino, best known for its Brunello, but the Franceschi family also produces this fresh white from vineyards planted between 150 and 450 metres above sea level.
Vermentino and Chardonnay are picked by hand and the must rests for 24 hours on the skins before a slow fermentation at 12 °C, with partial malolactic fermentation to round out the texture while keeping the wine lively.
The Vermentino brings freshness and citrus lift, the Chardonnay gives body and structure, and together they make an easy, elegant Tuscan white for everyday drinking.
