Teruzzi & Puthod Terre di Tufi 2004
White Wine
from Tuscany, Italy
winemaker's notes:
Pinnacle of the range and a cult wine since 1984, this Super White Tuscan is a blend of Vernaccia (80%), Chardonnay (7%), Malvasia (7%) and Vermentino (6%), barrique-fermented and barrique-aged 4-5 months in new French oak.
Ripe and exotic, full-bodied, with firm acidity, ample aromas and flavors recalling pineapple, peach, citrus, apples, vanilla, cream, piecrust and spice, luscious texture and lingering finish.
