Description
Tenuta I Colli, “Bindo” Bianco – exquisite, fresh dry white wine, named after Bindo Bindi, governor of Orvieto in 1400. The wine is made from grape varieties Malvasia Bianca, Trebbiano and Chardonnay, which is grown in Monteriggioni at an altitude of about 400 meters above sea level, on calcareous soils. The age of the vines ranges from 20 to 25 years. Harvested at the moment of optimal ripeness, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 16-18 C in steel vats. The wine is aged in steel tanks for several months before bottling.
In 2020 , a mild winter in Tuscany has been replaced by a spring with sunny days and light showers. The hot and dry summer quickly brought the fruits to phenolic ripeness. Although the summer days were hot, the cool nights helped preserve both the acidity and the vibrant aromatic profile of the grapes. The harvest took place at the end of September in good weather. The harvest was of excellent quality.
The Tenuta I Colli estate, owned by Bindi Sergardi, is located in the northern part of the province of Siena, in the villages of Monteriggioni and Vagliaglia. This estate represents the history and soul of the 23 generations of the Bindi Sergardi family who built it in the late 1400s. This is a very beautiful place with a rich history: in the estate of Tenuta I Colli, Bishop Achille Sergardi hosted the embassy of Emperor Charles V to negotiate a peace settlement for the city of Siena. The vineyards of this estate are famous for their special soils of sedimentary rocks, consisting mainly of calcium carbonate. Precious yellow marble is also mined on these lands. Authenticity and originality of the wines obtained in the estate emphasizes the diversity of local terroirs.
