Istine ISTINE Bianco d’Istine 2023

Description

The Bianco d’Istine by Angela Fronti is presented in the glass with a beautiful light and bright golden yellow. Fragrant and clear notes of exotic fruit and wild flowers. Full, saline, agile and full-bodied. One of the best whites in the area. Bianco d’Istine is produced with grapes harvested from the Casanova dell’Aia vineyard in Radda in Chianti, near the town, the first which was planted by the family in the 1980s and then renovated in 2014.

The grapes are harvested manually at different times, respecting the different ripening times of the 2 varieties and trying to maintain the right balance between acidity and ripening of the grapes. The must ferments slowly in terracotta jars and – to a small extent – in stainless steel tanks.

The bâtonnage operations are carried out until the end of December to keep the fine lees in suspension. The refinement takes place partly in terracotta jars and minimally in stainless steel tanks, the wine is assembled in steel and here it rests for a short period before being bottled.
