Chardonnay
Born in 1980 from a challenge of Fabrizio Bianchi to create a white wine of great character in an area which was not especially dedicated to it, this selection of Chardonnay from the Valdigallo vineyard, 3.50 hectares at an altitude of 260 metre a.s.l. exposed to the north-east, is vinified half in 5 hl French barrels and the other half in steel. It ages over two years in glass before the sale. Its great capacity to age makes it possible to enjoy its characteristics to the best after many years from the harvest.

Nel 1960 Fabrizio acquista la proprietà, grazie alla moglie Giuliana, cominciò a piantare nuove vigne e da qui inizia un’ incredibile storia di amore, passione e gioia verso il vino e tutto ciò che lo circonda. Passano 2 anni, siamo nel 1962 Fabrizio ha il battesimo per la prima volta all’interno della Denominazione Chianti Classico, le uve del vigneto Il Poggio: nasce il Primo Cru di Chianti Classico. Siamo nel 1968 Fabrizio decide di eliminare dall’uvaggio del Poggio le uve a bacca bianca (Trebbiano e Malvasia) allora richieste obbligatoriamente dal Disciplinare. Sempre nel 1968 decide di eliminare anche i raspi in fermentazione e l’uso,

Our Chardonnay is the brainchild of Fabrizio Bianchi, who – in the mid-1970s – decided to plant these vines on the company’s land outside of the Chianti Classico denomination. Inspired by the great white wines of Burgundy, it was initially fermented entirely in wooden tanks, but since 2000 the volume of oak-fermented grapes has been steadily decreasing – with 70% of the grapes now fermented in steel tanks. There is a large stock of our Chardonnay in our cellar, by way of illustration of this wine’s ability to stand up to the passing of time.
