Monteverro's Chardonnay is an exciting and multi-faceted expression of Tuscan white wine culture and combines Burgundian finesse with the radiance of the Maremma. The grapes come from carefully tended plots on limestone and clay near Capalbio, where the coastal microclimate with warm days and cool nights offers the Chardonnay an ideal ripening window. The vinification was carried out with Burgundian standards: slow fermentation in French barriques – partly new, partly used –regular bâtonnage and a fine lees ageing period of around ten months.

Brilliant straw yellow with golden reflections. Fine notes of lemon zest, white peach, roasted hazelnuts, brioche and chalky minerality on the nose. Precise, cool and yet powerful on the palate, with precise acidity, silky texture and savoury length. The wood is perfectly integrated and carries without dominating. Monteverro's Chardonnay is a wine of great nobility every year, combining Mediterranean ripeness with stylistic clarity – a white wine that does not conform, but redefines standards. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light golden yellow with a slight green tinge. Appealing nose with rich, tropical fruit flavours of baby pineapple and mango, some banana, wood is perfectly integrated. Spreads out beautifully on the palate, juicy, clear, present fruit, melting in the final and with a long finish." Falstaff

"A delicate, varietal but complex wine. On the nose, it displays the typical aromas of lime with a hint of seaweed, white pepper, lemon peel and papaya. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied, silky, with a zesty acidity, a dense finish and a savoury, elegant aftertaste." James Suckling

"The wine is beautifully full-bodied and generous, showing layers of stone fruit, melon and lemon meringue. The mouthfeel is rich and supple, with plenty of texture." Wine Advocate
