Lighter bodied. Pepper is right. Not tons of upfront fruit. But what is there is dark black (cherry?) and nice. Simple and good. — 2 months ago

The 2018 Vespa Bianco is a blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, grown in the hills of Premariacco and Cividale. The wine is fermented in half stainless steel tanks and half oak casks. Aging in the bottle lasts a year before release. A good portion of the lees - the spent yeast cells - are left in the wine, which enhances the mouthfeel.

This beautiful wine carries a golden hue in the glass and has a nose which features salinity as well as fruit. The aromas range from pears to guava to beeswax to lanolin. On the palate, there is bountiful salinity and minerality to meet the tropical fruit flavors. Acidity is fresh and zingy, too, so food pairing is simple.

Classic Italian red. Sharp and tangy, but paired well with pizza and eggplant parm. Hints of cherry, a bit of anise/spice, and a touch of earth. A bit too acidic for me, but solid. — 7 years ago
