The old Benefizio vineyard produces increasingly beautiful and fuller bunches over the years. This is partly due to the perfect climate; abundant sunshine produces fragrant grapes. The cool climate also lends the grapes a wonderful freshness and ensures a balanced growing season. At perfect ripeness, the Chardonnay grapes are harvested by hand and transported in small crates to Frescobaldi. A strict selection process takes place both in the vineyard and upon arrival at the Frescobaldi cellars. Only the finest juice is used for this white Benefizio wine. After pressing, the must is placed in barriques, half of which are new, to allow for alcoholic fermentation and a portion of the malolactic fermentation. The Benefizio wine then matures for ten months in wooden barrels on its lees. And that's not all, because only after a short four-month bottle aging are the bottles sold, and we can enjoy this superb wine.
The straw-yellow color of this wine is already promising. The aroma is overwhelming, with beautiful aromas of peach, pear, nuts, and vanilla. The taste, however, requires some attention. First, sit down and enjoy it. What a powerhouse this white wine from Frescobaldi is. Beautiful nuances of licorice, peach, and lightly toasted nuts. The full, creamy, and buttery texture complete this wine.
