Rigoloccio Montecalvo Toscana Bianco IGT 2021

The Rigoloccio Montecalvo Costa Toscana Bianco is Rigoloccio's second white wine, following the Mistral. It has a straw-yellow color with golden highlights. After the success of the Mistral, Rigoloccio doubled down on its efforts in white wine production in 2018 by launching Montecalvo, which is always based on Chardonnay, with a touch of Fiano.

The intense aroma of the Rigoloccio Montecalvo Costa Toscana Bianco boasts a complex bouquet of wildflowers, acacia, and white and yellow fruit pulp. The palate has a beautiful white structure, supported by an enveloping freshness and rich aroma. The taste is dynamic and clean, with a pleasantly mineral and fruity finish.

Winemaking in stainless steel tanks highlights the characteristic varietal notes and the minerality associated with the terroir. The name Montecalvo pays homage to the hill that rises near the winery between the town of Gavorrano and the hamlet of Ravi. The white wine fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for six months at a controlled temperature for 20 days, followed by several months of bottle aging.
