The Wine: Metafisica Bianco IGT Toscana

From the esteemed Castello Romitorio in Tuscany, the Metafisica Bianco is a "Super Tuscan" white wine that challenges expectations. Its name, "Metaphysics," speaks to its profound character—a blend that transcends the ordinary to express the subtle nuances of the land.

This limited-production white is an intriguing marriage of indigenous and international grapes, meticulously crafted to achieve both vibrant freshness and creamy texture. It’s a white wine with the depth and complexity often reserved for the finest reds, destined to elevate any occasion.

🍇 Tasting Notes & Profile

The Metafisica Bianco is a beautifully structured and textured wine that undergoes a nine-month maturation in oak barriques, which lends it incredible depth.

• Color: Bright straw yellow with elegant, light golden reflections.

• Aromas: A complex bouquet of orchard fruit (baked pear, golden apple, white nectarine), layered with savoury notes of saffron, praline, and a hint of baked crust.

• Palate: Medium- to full-bodied with a viscous, creamy mouthfeel. It is surprisingly vibrant with a sleek, juicy acidity that balances the richness. Expect flavors of dried lemon peel, stone fruit, and a distinct, dusty minerality that extends through a focused, dry finish.

• 50% Chardonnay (from Montalcino): Contributes richness, structure, and notes of orchard fruit.

• 50% Procanico / Trebbiano Toscano (from Maremma): Sourced from very old, 50-year-old vines in Scansano, which imparts a bright, saline minerality and beautiful aromatic complexity.
• This unusual combination creates a white wine that is both ancient in its structure and modern in its expression.
