The Trebbiano and Malvasia Bianca grapes for this exceptional white wine come from the Casanova dell'Aia vineyard in Radda in Chianti, the first 0.2-hectare, calcareous and clayey plot that the family bought and planted in the 1980s and then renewed in 2014. It matures on the fine lees mostly in terracotta amphorae and only a small part remains in stainless steel tanks. Total production per vintage: 2,500 bottles.

Brilliant, sparkling golden yellow colour. Intense and attractive on the nose with fresh notes of yellow-fleshed fruit and an elegant, delicate finish with a delicately reductive note. Fresh and balanced on the palate, with an invigorating acidity and a fine mineral note. An agile white wine with great independence and an animating drinking flow. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Bianco Toscano is a blend of Trebbiano and Malvasia from a vineyard in Radda. It spent three days on the skins and is done in amphora. Apricot, white flowers and exotic floral notes all resonate in this super-expressive, layered white. The Bianco is adventurous and quirky but also polished." Vinous
