Rigoloccio Mistral Maremma Toscana Barrique DOP 2021

The Rigoloccio Mistral Maremma Toscana has a deep passion for red wines but thrives on challenges. In 2017, Rigoloccio decided to venture into white wines, producing a pure Chardonnay vinified and aged in French Allier oak barrels. In the glass, it's a wine of great texture, combining aromatic richness with a distinctive minerality. Its name is a tribute to the Mistral wind, which blows from the northwest and tempers the afternoon temperatures. It's a very well-balanced white wine, soft and structured, with good freshness and flavor. The long, mineral finish makes it even more captivating and invites another sip.

• Colour: Straw yellow with golden reflections
• Bouquet: Intense and inviting with aromas of pineapple, apple, melon, almond, vanilla and subtle roasted notes.
• Taste: Full-bodied and balanced, with freshness, salty minerality and a long, elegant finish.

The aroma of Rigoloccio Mistral Maremma Toscana is intense and enveloping, with floral and fruity notes reminiscent of pineapple, apple, melon, and almond, followed by pleasant finishes. The Mistral is aged for eight months in first- and second-use French Allier oak barriques at controlled temperatures, and then further matured for several months in the bottle. Its color is straw yellow with golden highlights.
