✨ wine.spec_sheet
Crafted by the historic Marchesi de' Frescobaldi, a family whose winemaking legacy in Tuscany spans over seven hundred years, Albizzia is a vibrant expression of 100% Chardonnay. Grown in select Tuscan vineyards, this wine is designed to capture the grape's purest, most youthful fruit characteristics. Unlike heavily oaked Chardonnays, Albizzia is fermented and aged entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This preservation technique highlights bright aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and delicate white flowers, underpinned by a crisp, mineral-driven acidity that reflects the sun-drenched, maritime-influenced Tuscan terroir.
