Massican
Gemina California Pinot Bianco Greco
California, USA
Collectors item label. Lighter than previous Gemina’s. Good balance of citrus and minerality. Also good with Massican.

This vintage is actually Greco and Falanghina, no Pinot Blanc. High acid and textured with a nose of seashells and almond blossom. Bright and long on the palate. The perfect salty accompaniment to our branzino.

Consistency plus value always makes Massican an easy buy when I see it on a restaurant list.

May 10th, 2025Lean, mean, mineral as f*** machine. Lives up to the hype. Kelp and low tide seashell. 68% Greco, 32% Falanghina. Neutral oak comes through as faint almond on the loooong finish. Wants seafood and begs for your attention.

This a Somm geek wine and definitely a food wine.
A bit of funk in the nose. Like old gym bag.
Lemon, lime, pineapple, white peach, apricots, saline/sea spray, sea fossils, green notes, volcanic minerals, limestone, vanillin, notes of frothy cream, spring flowers, fresh white & yellow florals, elegance & polished for days, balanced finish that lasts two-minutes.
Excellent with a vinaigrette salad with walnuts.
The entry starts like Gurner Veltliner and falls on sea fossil burgundy.

Just got my Massican shipment today, so had to try this one with leftovers. The 2023 blend is 60% Greco Bianco, 23% Falanghina, 17% Fiano. Southern Italian grapes grown in California are so nice. Strong lemon zest on the nose. Mouth-watering saline acidity, hint of apricot, green apple, citrus, dry and clean. Medium body. Great summer food wine.
