2024 Tenuta La Chiusa Bianco

A Tuscan dry white that’s ripe and quite round in the mouth with a saline like minerality underpinning.

The island of Elba is the largest in the Tuscan archipelago and Italy’s third largest after Sicily and Sardinia. Tenuta La Chiusa overlooks the gulf of Portoferraio and takes its name from the walls which enclose its twenty hectares of vineyards and olive groves. Napoleon Bonaparte, who was twice exiled to the island, stayed at La Chiusa on two separate occasions.
A blend of Vermentino, Procanico (Trebbiano) and Ansonica (inzolia), fermented together and aged on lees in stainless for a few months with no malo. Brilliant pale straw colour with a watery hue. Pear, green apple skin and lime scents emerge out of the glass followed by some fresh herb and stony mineral notes. Ripe and quite round in the mouth, the palate features fleshy pear, peach and red apple fruits over a wet stone and saline like minerality. Crisp acidity with a long textural finish.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
