Bastianich Vespa Bianco.The flagship wine of the Bastianich estate, Vespa Bianco was created to showcase the power and evolution that a great Friulano white can have. Consisting of equal parts Sauvignon and Chardonnay with a measure of Picolit, Vespa becomes more than a sum of its parts, a wine of uncommon complexity and longevity.
Wine type: white wine IGT - Vespa Bianco.
Alcohol content: 14°
Region: Buttrio/Premariaccio, Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC.
Grape/blend: 45% Chardonnay, 45% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Picolit.
Type soil: limestone marl.
Colour: straw yellow.
Aroma: a tightly wound balance of minerality and citrus, evolving over time into a more viscous expression of wild flowers, clover honey and mature pear.
Tasting notes: the palate sensations are more like those of a red wine. Its tannic structure and acidic backbone lend it not only immediate impact but also a long life. Vespa Bianco can be further aged up to 7-10 years after the vintage.
Serving suggestions: great with roasted turkey, duck and pork. Shellfish, especially lobster and scallops. Mushroom based dishes, like mushroom risotto. Elegant cheese-dressed pastas. Serving 10°C.

Editor's note: A family, their land, the wine. The wine we drink has a rich history, it is part of a deep-rooted tradition and sometimes travels the whole world to get to our table. Cividale del Friuli - Friuli Venezia Giulia - Italy.
