🍇 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.
