Il Marzocco Toscana I.G.T. Chardonnay
Il Marzocco Toscana I.G.T. Chardonnay
In 1987, our winery was the first in Tuscany to produce a barrel-aged white wine, with grapes cultivated in Cortona’s foothills. Today the wine continues to be a trend leader with its vinification in a concrete egg, a terracotta jar and oak barrels. An elegant dynamic wine, it owes its name to a stone lion, symbol of wisdom and strength, which can be found in front of Palazzo Avignonesi in Montepulciano.
2024 vintage
The 2024 vintage was marked by extraordinary generosity. After the severe production constraints of 2023, nature responded with abundance, energy, and vitality, placing Avignonesi before a long, intense season rich in opportunity. It was a year that demanded clear choices, strong discipline, and careful management to contain excess and highlight balance, finesse, and elegance.

tasting notes
Straw yellow colour with vivid greenish reflections. A dynamic and profound wine, an expression of Tuscan Chardonnay. Il Marzocco enchants you with its explosive notes of lime blossom, grapefruit and ripe pineapple, enriched by intriguing nuances of honey and flint. The palate is full and creamy with elegant lemon notes, then sage and elderflower. The palate is delighted by a vibrant, mineral finish with a slight woody aftertaste.
