What kind of wine is Toscana Bianco IGT 'Chard’O' 2021 - La Nascosta?
Toscana Bianco IGT 'Chard’O' 2021 - La Nascosta is an elegant 100% Chardonnay white wine born in the heart of Tuscany, a land of great reds but also capable of offering whites with surprising personality. This wine tells the story of the La Nascosta winery's dedication to researching and enhancing international grape varieties, reinterpreted in the Tuscan style: clean aromatic profiles, a balance between freshness and structure, and a distinct minerality that reflects the hilly territory of its origin. It is a white wine with a contemporary character, ideal for those seeking a balanced, pleasant, and excellent value-for-money wine.Vintage Details
2021 was a balanced vintage in Tuscany, with a rather mild winter and a regular spring, followed by a warm but not extreme summer. The temperature excursions between day and night favored excellent aromatic maturation of the grapes and well-preserved acidity. These conditions allowed for a Chardonnay with a harmonious, fresh, and complex profile.Winemaking and Aging
The La Nascosta winery works with great attention to detail, combining tradition and enological precision. After the harvest, the grapes are gently pressed to preserve their fragrance. Alcoholic fermentation takes place partly in stainless steel – to enhance the freshness and purity of the fruit – and partly in barriques, where malolactic fermentation also occurs (a phase that softens the wine's natural acidity, making it rounder on the palate). Aging continues for several months on the lees, contributing to complexity and a creamy structure.Tasting Notes
Toscana Bianco IGT 'Chard’O' 2021 - La Nascosta stands out for its elegant and dynamic profile, inviting discovery. Color: bright straw yellow, with golden reflections that anticipate its maturity and aromatic richness. Nose: on the nose, it expresses notes of ripe fruit – peach, pear, and citrus – accompanied by hints of vanilla and toastiness, typical of wood aging. Delicate floral sensations and a slight mineral vein also emerge. Taste: on the palate, it is fresh and savory, with a pleasant acidity that perfectly balances the softness. The sip is harmonious, enveloping yet never heavy, and finishes with a persistent trail of citrus and wet stone.What dishes to pair with Toscana Bianco IGT 'Chard’O' 2021 - La Nascosta
