The Poggerissi Bianco di Toscana is a blend of select Trebbiano Toscano and Chardonnay grapes. The Renzo Masi winery in Rufina has been renowned for its exquisite specialty wines for years. This cuvée, with its soft pastel yellow color, impresses with a distinctly fruity aroma. This Tuscan wine owes these aromas and its youthful freshness primarily to the high proportion of Trebbiano grapes. It pampers the palate with citrus notes and balanced acidity. The finish is pleasantly long and rounded.

What does the Renzo Masi Poggerissi Bianco di Toscane taste like?
The Poggerissi Bianco Toscana is a remarkably youthful, accessible wine that's a pleasure to drink. The grapes come from the region's most suitable white wine locations. Controlled fermentation at cool temperatures brings out this delightful freshness. It has a straw-yellow color in the glass with occasional greenish reflections. This white wine from Renzo Masi has a wonderfully refreshing aroma of lime and pit fruit. It has a very light palate with delicate fruit notes, a light body, and pleasant acidity. These flavors continue into a rounded finish. A lovely summery Italian wine that pairs beautifully with grilled fish or tapas.
