The Bastianich Vespa Bianco 2012 is a showy and rich blend of 45% Chardonnay, 45% Sauvignon Blanc, and 10 % Picolit. Beguiling notes of bruised pear, ripe nectarine, dried mango and orange blossom honey lingers heavily in the air above the glass, like a warm day in mid-summer. Dark gold and luxurious, there is just enough acidity to add lift to its decadent, creamy texture. Finishes with a hint of fennel pollen and of a sprightly dash of minerality. 14.0 ABV | Sample

Corposo,tannico,persistente,profumi di frutta matura,agrumi e vegetali. Vino "mainstream" è poco territoriale, ma molto buono.

Chard/sb. Chard really comes through on the nose and palate with driving acid. $30 great wine but tough price.
