Wine Description:

The Chardonnay “Dolce Vita” vintage 2022 of the Tenuta Torciano Winery is made with 100% Chardonnay grapes. The aromatic profile of this wine says much about the vintage's weather. An expansive nose denotes perfectly ripened Chardonnay grapes thanks to the sun and light. It is a straw yellow wine with light golden reflections.

The nose opens with notes of lime, green apple and pear, well blended with tropical fruits. On the palate it is delicate and fresh, with an accentuated mineral note, with a medium-long finish. Overall, it is a very balanced, savory, elegant and refined wine. Perfect to accompany fresh and medium-aged cheeses, it is ideal in combination with shellfish, seafood and fish dishes. Also excellent for roast chicken and white meat.

Wine Cellar:

Tenuta Torciano Winery is situated in the heart of Tuscany, 35 minutes from Florence and 20 minutes from Siena, surrounded by beautiful rolling hills and a succession of unique greenery that features towering cypress trees, long stretches of beautiful vineyards, olive groves, forests of oaks and lovely villages.

When you visit Tenuta Torciano Winery, you will totally immerse yourself in Italian culture, together with a Tuscan family consisting of 13 generations of wine producers. Here you will experience warm hospitality and additional Tuscan traditions handed down from father to son.

Area of Production:

Tuscany is undoubtedly one of the Italian regions of greatest international resonance for red wines. However, the vocation of the terroir, the richness of the biodiversity of the native vines and the extraordinary savoir-faire of the producers allow Tuscan white wines to express themselves with great identity.

Tuscan white wines have an intrinsic Mediterranean character, which translates into a great richness on the palate and flavor, which compensates for their moderate acidity and aromaticity.

The production area is characterised by a Mediterranean climate with rather dry summers, not particularly harsh winters and rainfall concentrated in two periods: April/May and November, with temperatures varying from -5°C to +37°C. The area benefits from good ventilation all year round and only rarely is it cloaked in fog. 

Grapes:

The Chardonnay grape is one of the most widely planted white grape varieties in the world. Chardonnay is a green-skinned grape variety used to make white wine. It is believed to have originated in the Burgundy wine region (France) but is now grown wherever wine is produced.

Italy has a long tradition for growing Chardonnay and productions reach excellent levels of quality. In Italy the still whites from Chardonnay are produced mainly in the north, in Tuscany, Umbria and Sicily.

Chardonnay has a wide-ranging reputation for relative ease of cultivation and ability to adapt to different conditions. The grape is very "malleable", in that it reflects and takes on the impression of its terroir and winemaker. It is a highly vigorous vine, with extensive leaf cover which can inhibit the energy and nutrient uptake of its grape clusters.
