This blend combines Sauvignon Blanc and Trebbiano in a profile that is both structured and agile, with fermentation in stainless steel and partial ageing in amphorae. On the palate, a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e stands out, reminiscent of river stones, supported by a lively and refreshing acidity. The tasting reveals precise aromas of crisp white fruit, fresh herbs, flowers and a light peppery note, defining a \u003cstrong\u003esophisticated\u003c\/strong\u003e and complex \u003cstrong\u003edrinkability\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come exclusively from the \u003cstrong\u003eLa Rota estate\u003c\/strong\u003e, a Tuscan plot with a privileged northern exposure that ensures the natural freshness of the bunches. The vineyard, managed strictly using \u003cstrong\u003eorganic farming\u003c\/strong\u003e, hosts an ampelographic heritage mainly composed of old vines grown using the Guyot system. Thanks to a limited production, the winery is able to fully enhance the territory's vocation and the balance of its \u003cstrong\u003ehistoric plants\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe journey in the cellar begins with a \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e inside stainless steel tanks. The wine then rests on its lees for six months: the majority of the batch matures in steel to enhance its absolute aromatic purity, while a small percentage ages in \u003cstrong\u003eterracotta amphorae\u003c\/strong\u003e and barrels. This precise technique adds depth and roundness, keeping the sip consistently taut and ensuring a harmonious, \u003cstrong\u003epersistent finish\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeriggio di Fontodi is produced from old organic vineyards on the La Rota estate, in the heart of Tuscany. Production is limited to approximately 10,000 bottles per year and is distinguished by an artisanal six-month ageing process that combines the use of steel with \u003cstrong\u003eterracotta amphorae\u003c\/strong\u003e. This unique production method has earned the wine a score of 90 from Vinous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fontodi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140849156267,"sku":"61747","price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/fontodi-colli-toscana-centrale-meriggio-2024_61747_1_c977fcf9-ac0e-425a-a161-be4f6b109d7c.webp?v=1782230955","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/products\/fontodi-colli-toscana-centrale-meriggio-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
