The Elegant White of Tuscany.
La Casa Rossa “Melandre” Toscana Bianco is a bright and expressive white wine, crafted from a harmonious blend of Malvasia and Chardonnay grapes grown on the sun-kissed hills of Tuscany. The name Melandre evokes the subtle interplay of freshness and richness, reflecting the wine’s aromatic elegance and vibrant personality.
Fermented in stainless steel with careful temperature control, it retains the pure, lively character of its grapes while revealing delicate layers of citrus blossom, white peach, pear, and hints of tropical fruit. Light ageing on fine lees adds a subtle creamy texture and enhances the wine’s aromatic complexity, resulting in a smooth, balanced palate with refreshing acidity and a persistent finish.
In Ireland, Melandre is an ideal white for those who appreciate versatile, food-friendly wines. It pairs beautifully with seafood, creamy pasta dishes, grilled vegetables, or even light poultry, offering a taste of Tuscan sunshine in every glass. Its approachable elegance makes it perfect for both casual lunches and more refined dining experiences.
Why we love it:
Melandre Bianco is all about balance and charm. The Chardonnay brings soft orchard fruits and a creamy texture, while the Malvasia Bianca adds a fragrant floral lift and a whisper of Mediterranean herbs. Together, they create a wine that’s effortlessly drinkable yet intriguingly complex — the kind of bottle that feels at home in a cosy Dublin bistro just as much as at a summer picnic in the Irish countryside.
