Castellare di Castellina Canonico Toscana IGT 2018

A Tuscan white made entirely from Chardonnay grown in vineyards between 350 and 400 metres above sea level. Fermentation and ageing on the fine lees take place in French oak barrels, giving a Burgundian-style white of structure and minerality. It is complex, and can also be drunk after a few more years. Pale gold with intense straw colour, it shows peach and pear on the nose with almond and hay. The palate is fresh and full-bodied with a citrus development, leading to a savoury, satisfying finish. Serve with fish or white meat, such as tempura cod or fried chicken with apricot chutney.
