Bastianich Vespa Bianco 2020
Vespa Bianco was created to emphasise the power and balance that a great Friulian white can achieve, with uncommon complexity and longevity.

Colour

Nuances of both yellow and antique gold hues, with extraordinary brightness and clari ty.

Bouquet

On the nose hints of beeswax, apricots, and honey give the wine an immediate, fresh, though structured impact.

Flavour

On the palate, all the wine's complexity, envelopment, silkiness and structure expand with incredible finesse and elegance, creating sensations of caressing voluptuousness. It is a unique wine when aged for several years, for example, for more than ten yers.

Pairing

Vespa matches perfectly with shellfish and crustaceans, although it easily accompanies an y kind of white meat and robust preparations (even smoked).

Harvest Depending on the variety, from the first decade of September to the second decade of October.
Vinification Each grape variety is harvested separately when it has reached optimum ripeness. The grapes are sorted on sorting benches before gently pressing, resulting in a first must and press must. Subsequently, the two batches of must are blended to start alcoholic fermentation. The varieties that make up Vespa Bianco ferment separately, about 50% in temperature-controlled stainless steel and the remaining 50% in 5 and 40-hectolitre oak casks.
Ageing After fermentation, retaining most of the yeasts, a long period of 'batonnage' and subsequent bottling begins. Bottle ageing completes the wine before it is marketed.
