Tradition has it that the harvest at Brolio always starts with the grapes in the small three-hectare Torricella vineyard that was planted to chardonnay at the end of the 1980s. The wine produced from this fruit is named for the vineyard. It is a Chardonnay with a Tuscan character, full of backbone and personality; a distinctive white that embodies the characteristics of the terroir of Brolio as well as any of the estate’s famous reds.

PRODUCTION AREA
Gaiole in Chianti The vineyard is set 350 meters above sea level, on mid hill land with sedimentary origins, full of sand and pebbles.

Wintry and snowy winter, sunny and mild spring, warm summer cooled by some rainfall: this was the 2005 seasoning. The maturation of the grapes has gone through gently and on September 5th we were ready for the harvesting of the Chardonnay bunches. The analytical tests were conducted on beautiful, healthy grapes. The results have been more than satisfactory.

Displays an outstanding freshness, due either to the peculiarity of the vintage either to the vinification and ageing methods used. Round structure, mostly fruity on the nose with mineral hints and a long lingering aftertaste.
