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.

Have visited Portofino. The wine is as good as the place is beautiful. What a delight. Clean, flavorful. The combinations of a Loire (acidity) with the depth of a burgundy, almost.

Reminiscent of a single-varietal Xarelo with a crisp finish and a citrus driven palate (but is that cantaloupe I taste in the back there?)

Light and airy, lemon zest, daisies and ocean breeze. A light liberality and soft on the palate.
