We’ll begin with a white that’s a blend of some Italy’s best grapes.
Garganega - as seen in Soave
Bianca Fernanda - a Custoza native clone of the Cortese grape, as seen in Gavi
Trebbiano Toscano - a blending partner of Orvieto
In the glass this supergroup starts off easy going with pear and melon, then quickly shifts to a fuller bodied richness and a finish getting into some dried apricot notes. All alongside that there’s a chalky minerality present and some orange zest whiffs. It makes for a really neat wine that seems to go back and forth between being light and refreshing versus rich and comforting.
