Le Bruniche Chardonnay Toscana IGT 2024
Trade Tools
Italy / Tuscany
Located north of the village of Greve in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, the Nozzole estate covers a striking, rugged, mountainous area. The finest Chardonnay grapes are selected from the Nozzole estate’s 222 acres of vineyards at 984 feet in elevation. The vines for Le Bruniche grow on one of the estate’s highest hillsides, where excellent sun exposure and limestone and marl soils help to maintain an optimal ground temperature. Le Bruniche grapes are gently pressed, and the juice is cold settled.
Harvest Note
The 2024 wine harvest in Tuscany experienced a notable improvement over the previous year, though still below the historical average. Favorable weather conditions contributed to an early harvest and excellent grape quality, resulting in wines with great structure and aromatic complexity. Despite challenges such as localized hailstorms and early frost, diligent vineyard management ensured a successful vintage.
Tasting Note
Classic scents of apple, white peach and Mirabelle plums well blend with the hints of citrus and medicinal herbs. It is rich, full and well balanced on the palate, with excellent persistence resulting in a dry, crisp finish.

About the Grape
Chardonnay
Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
