Ricasoli Torricella

Grapes: 100% Chardonnay

Character: The nose is medium-bodied, slightly buttery and discreetly vanilla-tinged, but also lightly floral and delicately fruity in a fresh style, at the same time with a ripe feeling of honey and hazelnuts. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, rounded and soft with a generous fruit but also fresh acidity and great freshness.

Goes well with: Excellent with fish, vegetarian dishes and appetizers. 

About the wine: The grapes were carefully selected and harvested by hand in the early cool hours of the morning, in the middle of August. Cold maceration for one night on the skins at 5°C, without oxygen. Fermentation in stainless steel vats at 12°C-16°C for 30 days. The wine was aged on the yeasts with frequent batonnages, in selected tonneaux using 20% new wood, for approximately 10 months. The malolactic fermentation was spontaneous and carried out partially to give the wine a freshness and a crunchiness.
