Thus, a white wine is born, which, while maintaining the varietal typicity of the grape, focuses mainly on expressive immediacy and drinkability. It is a white with a gastronomic face, very suitable for pairing with seafood first courses, baked fish, or semi-aged cheeses from the area.
The “Montedonico” is a pure Viognier, originating from Terenzi's estate in Scansano. The study and zoning process of the soils allowed for each variety to be planted in the most suitable place, in order to obtain grapes of excellent quality and with very rich and intense varietal aromas. Viognier is cultivated in the Montedonico vineyard, characterized by the presence of clayey and sandy soils, with an abundant presence of limestone, especially in the higher areas of the hill.The grape harvest takes place at the beginning of September, in order to preserve a good base freshness. The bunches are subjected to a soft pressing, to extract only the first fraction of the must. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 18 °C, and the wine is bottled after a short aging in steel tanks.
