Always love these Ligurian whites! This one smells of lemon thyme, cucumber and hay on a hot summer day. Finesse with just enough suppleness on the palate=happy harmony.

Delicate fennel and flowers with a pleasing bitter note on the finish. The star of the Bisson tasting.

My first 100% Bianchetta, which is typically used as a blending grape in Liguria. Full bodied and waxy. Great texture that really grabbed me. Crisp and saline. Like a Muscadet on steroids. Perfect with steelhead trout.

Very good, though perhaps past its prime a bit and starting to show a little less character than I'd like. A nice acidity to match it's sunny yellow hue, taste of lemon rind and citrus, medium body, with a lot of rocky minerals and terrain. It is nice to have a wine focus on minerality vs fruit forward compounds. Hope to score a bottle of this a bit younger next time.
