Bisson “ü Pastine” Bianchetta Genovese 2023
Portofino DOC, Liguria, Italy 🇮🇹🌊🍇
Overview
A rare gem from Liguria’s Portofino DOC, made from 100% Bianchetta Genovese, an indigenous grape that thrives along the steep coastal vineyards overlooking the Ligurian Sea. “Ü Pastine” is one of the most authentic expressions of this variety, produced by the passionate winemaker Pierluigi Lugano of Bisson, who is committed to reviving local grapes and traditions.
Aromas & Flavors
Delicate citrus zest, green apple, and wild herbs 🌿 open the nose, followed by hints of white flowers and salty sea spray 🌊. On the palate, expect lively lemon, pear, and subtle almond bitterness, finishing with a crisp mineral streak.
Mouthfeel
Light-bodied, dry, and refreshingly zesty with vibrant acidity. The salinity and minerality carry through to the finish, making it extremely food-friendly and highly evocative of its coastal terroir.
Verdict
A bright, maritime white that’s perfect with Ligurian cuisine — think pesto Genovese, grilled seafood, or simple anchovies with lemon. Rare, refreshing, and terroir-driven, this bottle is a reminder of why Liguria’s native grapes deserve the spotlight. Drink now for peak freshness.
