Essenziale Tenuta Orzale

ALCOHOL : 12.5% vol.

GRAPES : 100% Trebbiano

ALLERGENS : Contains sulphites

PRODUCTION AREA : Montaione, Tuscany

NATURE OF THE SOIL : Medium-textured hilly, silty-sandy.

VINIFICATION : The hand-picked Trebbiano grapes are processed using various techniques that enhance the final result. First and foremost, a light maceration on the skins for approximately 24-48 hours gives the wine a more amber color than traditional winemaking, while also enhancing its flavors and aromas. During and after fermentation, we leave the wine in contact with its lees, which enriches its aroma and makes it smoother on the palate.

MATURATION : The refinement takes place initially in steel tanks and subsequently in the bottle.

PAIRINGS : First and second courses based on fish, excellent as a fresh summer aperitif.

TASTING NOTES : It has an intense yellow color with amber reflections. Its acidity provides freshness and the olfactory notes resulting from maceration enhance its floral bouquet.

How it was born: Essenziale was born from an idea and a challenge: a quality white wine from a grape variety with a reputation that doesn't match its quality. The small white wine production in Orzale uses grapes that in the past were used to enrich the acidity of the Chianti blend, but after a few years, we realized we could expect more from our Trebbiano grapes.
