Poderi del Paradiso Biscondola 2021
Vernaccia Biscondola by Poderi del Paradiso is the second Vernaccia di San Giminiano based white wine of the winery. The particularity of this wine is the 10% of added Chardonnay and fermentation and 6 month ageing of 20% of the wine in oak barrels.
The result is a beautiful structured white wine with golden hues and fine fragrances of vanilla, orange blossom, honey, broom and wild flowers. Biscondola is fresh and creamy palate on the palate, with pleasant almond finish. Recommended if you like white wine slightly aged in oak.

Vinification: grapes are pressed directly with the skins. The juice is separated from the dregs by means of a static cleaning at a low temperature. Fermentation in stainless steel for 30 days
Aging: 20% in new french oak barrel for 6 months
