Bianco del Ciglio 2024
Paestum Bianco IGP
I believe that origin is the foundation of originality, and originality is essential for biodiversity, which is our only chance of survival. Therefore, my white wine has its origin in the grape variety and in my vineyard, where in 2018 I finally decided to plant white grape vines for a wine with a unique body, a natural consequence of the chosen blend. Thus, Fiano for the skeleton, the supporting structure; Falanghina to provide pulp and flesh, and Malvasia for the skin and aromas. As with my other wines: it’s not easily replicable; every vintage holds surprises; time and air do no harm.
This one, 2024: a material like light, tasty and graceful meat, which goes very well with both fish and cheeses, and if it were music it could be This is the day di The The, the pop creature by Matt Johnson.
