"Melandre" is an unusual blend between Chardonnay and Malvasia Bianca, traditional grapes of Tuscan territory, showing a great personality with intense floral notes and a suggestion of exotic fruits. In the mouth envelopes silkiness with hints of white melon and banana. Persuasive and balanced.
At the end of the 80s, La Casa Rossa decided, after careful evaluations, to dedicate an exclusive area of their estate, to the conception of this wine. Indigenous Tuscan vines are planted as Malvasia and blended, after separate fermentations to an international grape well adapted to the area, the Chardonnay, also coming from the same dedicated area.
The grapes are chosen and selected in the vineyard followed by a meticulous cellar work. The Malvasia is fermented in cask with batonnage method, while the Chardonnay in steel at controlled temperature, followed by a passage of three months in new barriques and then a long rest in the bottle.
All wines produced by La Casa Rossa are organic.
