Castiglion del Bosco Chardonnay 2025 is produced from Chardonnay grown in Tuscany, within the estate’s wider approach to precise, balanced varietal expression. Chardonnay is the sole variety and presents the wine as a fragrant, elegant and harmonious expression of the grape. It is designed to show freshness, balance and finesse, with a structure that supports aromatic clarity and a refined, approachable style.
Vinification
Vintage 2025 was matured in stainless steel tanks, a choice that preserves freshness, fruit purity and varietal definition. The approach supports a clean, precise Chardonnay profile, with no oak influence indicated in the supplied technical sheet. The wine has below 1g/l residual sugar, giving a dry, balanced and fresh expression of Tuscan Chardonnay.
2025
The 2025 harvest in the Cortona area was regular and balanced, with weather conditions that supported optimal grape ripening. The resulting wines are expected to show good freshness, balanced structure and an elegant expression of the territory. This vintage context suits Chardonnay particularly well, allowing the variety to retain liveliness and aromatic precision while developing ripe stone-fruit notes and a harmonious palate.
