San Valentino Bacaia Bianco 2021
Emilia-Romagna, ItalySan Valentino is a certified organic property owned by the Mascarin family since 1990 and is centred on the hills of Rimini, near the sea. This young vine Grechetto Gentile is rooted in limestone and native fermented in stainless, where it remained six months on lees. There's an alluring slick to the palate, basing almond, wild lemon, subtle pear, and fresh herbs, with a subtle grittiness around the sides, finishing with a citrus twist. Bright, unique, and engaging, this would make a welcome addition to the dining table.Tasted: 12 January 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $26.00 | 750ml | consignment |
