The tradition evolves and takes new shape in the present: this is our Colombaio Bianco. The maximum expression of a still white wine obtained from the union of white grapes of the Chianti tradition and a modern vinification. If in the past Trebbiano and Malvasia were used to give life to the Chianti Classico, today, vinified separately, they express the Tuscan personality in a completely modern and original way.
