Tenuta San Jacopo, Quarto di Luna 2025

Tenuta San Jacopo has been making wine in the hills of Cavriglia, Tuscany, since 1737. This Chardonnay comes from a 2.5-hectare vineyard at 300 meters altitude, organically certified. Edition of 5,000 bottles.

What you smell
Distinct tropical fruit: pineapple, passion fruit, and yellow peach. Floral notes and a slightly briny hint in the background.

What you taste
Round and soft on the palate, yet with enough freshness to remain smooth and drinkable. The finish is clean and satisfying, without heavy buttery notes as the wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation.

How it's made
100% Chardonnay, hand-picked in late August. Short cold maceration with dry ice for extra aroma. 90% fermented in stainless steel, 10% in 500-liter barrels. Then six months of aging on fine lees (meaning: on the yeast residue), which gives the wine extra body without dominating wood flavors.

Serving
Serve at 8 to 10 degrees Celsius. Decanting not necessary. A slightly larger white wine glass helps to bring out the fruit.

Pairs well with

  • Roast chicken with lemon and herbs: the roundness of the wine matches the roasted flavors, the freshness cuts through the fat.
  • Risotto with grilled zucchini: the soft texture of the wine parallels the creamy rice.
  • Tuna sashimi with mango: the tropical fruit in the glass picks up the sweetness of mango without overpowering the fish.

Tenuta San Jacopo ligt tussen Chianti Classico en Valdarno, op een landgoed met een villa uit 1750 en een naam die teruggaat op een stenen kapel die al op zestiende-eeuwse kaarten stond. In 2002 kochten drie broers uit Milaan het vervallen landgoed en bouwden het biologisch weer op.

Toscane draait om Sangiovese, maar de streek is veel breder dan dat. Van de hooggelegen wijngaarden van Chianti Classico tot de zilte kust van Bolgheri: elke plek geeft de druif een ander karakter.
