BINDI SERGARDI
ORIOLUS IGT TOSCANA WHITE
Traditionally, our vineyards always contained white
grape varieties. Curiosity has made us want to discover what
kind of wine they would produce on their own, given dignity
as a white wine instead of simply contributing to the complexity
of the red Chianti. Oriolus is the result of that questioning.

Chardonnay

Péra and Querciatello vineyards on the Mocenni estate,
