Description
What type of wine it is
Il Borro Chardonnay is an organic white wine from the Il Borro estate, born in the heart of Tuscany. Produced entirely from Chardonnay grapes, this Valdarno di Sopra appellation wine is distinguished by an intense aromatic profile, where citrus notes and yellow fruit combine with hints of Mediterranean scrub and vanilla. On the palate, it is fresh, elegant and possesses a deep structural balance, offering an enveloping sip and a very long finish. Ideal for pairing with white meats and structured fish, this wine expresses a refined and complex character, fully enhancing the unique characteristics of the grape variety.
Where it comes from
Il Borro Chardonnay originates from the renowned Valdarno di Sopra appellation, a prestigious wine-growing area of Tuscany. The territory is characterised by ideal conditions that allow the Chardonnay to express an identity profile strongly linked to its land. The estate follows rigorous sustainable and organic practices, ensuring absolute respect for the environment. This dedication is reflected in the meticulous care of the raw materials, which yields an authentic, pure and always recognisable territorial expression in every glass.
How it is produced
Production begins with a manual harvest in 10 kg crates. The winemaking process involves split fermentation: two-thirds of the must ferments in steel, while the remaining part ferments and matures in clayver, oak barriques and acacia barrels. This is followed by a prolonged ageing of 10 months on the fine lees in the same containers, a fundamental step that enriches the structure and gives the wine great breadth. This targeted technique gives the white wine an excellent balance and a defined aromatic profile, in full respect of the single-varietal approach.
