Colombaio di Cencio is located in the town of Gaiole, one of the historic communes in Chianti Classico. The estate has over 100 hectares planted to native and French varietals. Currently in the process of converting to organic farming, the winery attributes the distinctive Tuscan character of its wines to the fact that its vineyards are surrounded by forest and wildlife; they provide the biodiversity needed for truly terroir-driven wines. Critically acclaimed winemaker Marcello Burgio vinifies the grapes in a state-of-the-art facility where he uses both large cask and barriques, the latter for the estate’s Bordeaux-style wines.*

The 2021 Colombaio di Cencio Colombaio Bianco is a blend of 40% trebbiano and 40% malvasia, with the remaining 20% made up of chardonnay, pinot bianco, and sauvignon blanc. Aged for six months in a combination of stainless steel and large oak barrels, it is a rich yet elegant wine with floral and citrus aromas that lead to a medium-to-full-bodied palate of apricots, peaches, lemon pith, and Honeydew melon laced with notes of vanilla and white flowers. The rich mid-palate gives way to a juicy and long-lasting finish.

90 points, James Suckling:
"Aromas of jasmine, lemons, daffodils, white apricots and pears. Medium-bodied and bright with white fruit wrapped up in elegant floral notes." (9/6/22)
