Riecine, located in the heart of Chianti, is known for its organic farming and minimalist approach to winemaking. While Riecine is primarily recognized for its Sangiovese-based reds, the Bianco di Riecine is an exciting and unconventional white wine that reflects the estates commitment to natural viticulture and creative expression.
- WINEMAKER: Alessandro Campatelli
- FARMING: Certified organic, practicing biodynamic
- VARIETY: 100% Trebbiano Toscano
- TERROIR: Sourced from organically farmed vineyards in the Chianti hills, with clay-limestone soils that add freshness and minerality to the wine
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested, fermented with native yeasts in terracotta amphorae, allowing for natural micro-oxygenation and a pure expression of the grape. No added sulfites during vinification
- AGING: Aged for 6 months in amphorae to preserve freshness and enhance texture
- TASTING NOTES: Bright and lively, with notes of lemon zest, green apple, and white flowers, complemented by a subtle saline minerality. The amphora aging adds a distinctive texture and depth, with a crisp and clean finish
