Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine a sea breeze caressing the vines, a generous but never scorching sun. That is the soul of àuricA, a Viognier that transports you directly to the Tuscan coast. This wine is not just a drink, it is an invitation to travel, a promise of freshness and elegance.
The Folonari house, with its long winemaking history, managed to find in the Area costiera, this Costa Toscana bathed in light, the ideal terroir to express the quintessence of Viognier. This grape, often associated with other regions, finds a unique expression here, shaped by the maritime influence and the richness of the soils. It is a bold and successful bet, offering a Mediterranean interpretation of an international grape.
When I pour this àuricA Viognier Costa Toscana IGT, its colour immediately seduces me: a bright paglierino yellow, dotted with golden reflections that dance under the light. On the nose, it is a festival! I perceive a fragrant bouquet of white-fleshed fruits, white flowers, with light notes of peach and apricot, all wrapped in that aromatic and floral freshness so characteristic of Viognier. On the palate, it reveals a supple texture and a medium body. The fruity perception is well present, balanced by a just acidity and a sapidity that prolongs the pleasure in the finish. The alcohol, although present, is perfectly integrated, never dominating.
This àuricA Viognier is a wine of immediate pleasure, designed to be enjoyed young in order to fully appreciate its aromatic liveliness. I highly recommend it for aperitivo, where its freshness will open the appetite with elegance. It pairs wonderfully with fish risotti, elaborate seafood, but also more complex fish dishes. Do not hesitate to pair it with fresh cheeses, it will enhance them. Serve it chilled, between 10 and 12°C, in a generous glass to let its aromas fully unfold. It is a wine that will speak to you of Tuscany, of its flavours and its sweet way of life, with every sip.
