Barone Ricasoli BARONE RICASOLI TORRICELLA Toscana Bianco 2020

Description

The Toscana Bianco Barone Ricasoli Torricella is a very happy union of Tuscan Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Chardonnay, for the most part, ages 9 months in wood after which it meets Sauvignon Blanc which matures in steel instead. The result is a fresh wine, with a complex character, excellent minerality and which could surprise you after a few years in the bottle. Barone Ricasoli is always a certainty, in any label. This wine is no exception.

One of the ancestors of the current property, Bettino Ricasoli, also known as the Iron Baron, was the inventor of the modern Chianti Classico wine recipe in the mid-19th century. Today the company is chaired by Francesco Ricasoli, Bettino’s great-grandson.

Baron Francesco Ricasoli has been at the helm of the winery since 1993 and with the deepest respect for his illustrious ancestors, has launched a very important project of innovation and sustainability.
