What kind of wine is Toscana Bianco IGT 'Chard’O' 2020 - La Nascosta
The Toscana Bianco IGT 'Chard’O' 2020 - La Nascosta is a white wine with a contemporary character that best expresses the elegant soul of Chardonnay grown in Tuscany. It is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes from vineyards located among gentle, well-exposed hills characterized by mineral-rich soils. The result is a wine with a fresh, balanced, and mineral profile, combining the generosity of the Tuscan climate with the typical finesse of great international white wines.Vintage details
2020 was a balanced and particularly favorable vintage for white grapes. A mild spring with regular rainfall ensured good vegetative development, while the summer, warm but with cool nights, allowed for slow and constant ripening. This climatic balance gave the Toscana Bianco IGT 'Chard’O' 2020 - La Nascosta a harmonious structure and a pleasant natural acidity.Winemaking and aging
The winemaking of Chard’O 2020 involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation that takes place partly in stainless steel and partly in oak barriques. This double process gives the wine complexity and a subtle toasted note. Partial malolactic fermentation (a natural process that softens acidity by transforming malic acid into lactic acid) gives the sip roundness and softness. After a few months of aging on the lees, the wine is bottled and left to rest to best express its elegant aromas.Tasting notes
