    A white rarity from the heart of Chianti Classico: Il Bianco is a remarkable exception in a terroir dominated by red wine. The white grape varieties of this exceptional cuvée have thrived for over 45 years on the historic dry-stone terraces of Castellina in Chianti, which were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019. The blend of 60 per cent Procanico (a local Trebbiano clone), 30 per cent Viognier and 10 per cent Malvasia Bianca embodies the visionary signature of the Swiss Bär-Bettschart family.

    These grapes ripen particularly slowly on the Galestro-rich soils at an altitude of 420 metres, between fragrant roses and centuries-old olive trees – they are among the last to be harvested and develop exceptionally thick skins, which give the wine its intense flavour. Vinification is carried out separately for each grape variety: Procanico and Malvasia mature for seven months sur lies in French oak barrels, while the Viognier retains its fresh fruitiness in steel tanks. After blending, a further three months of ageing in the bottle follows in a climate-controlled cellar.

    The result is a complex, Burgundian white wine of remarkable depth: a creamy, elegant texture, flavours of white flowers, ripe pears and delicate spicy notes, underpinned by the mineral signature of the ancient terraces. A wine that proves that Tuscany also has exceptional white wines to offer – a white pearl in the middle of the red Chianti sea. SUPERIORE.DE
