Ricco Bianco - 2020
Pallagrello Bianco is a beloved grape variety, thought to have its origins in Campania, Italy, or possibly ancient Greece. Phylloxera and mildew nearly killed the grape, but it was rediscovered in the 1990s and has since been re-grown by some wine producers. In the 18th century, when the royal house of Bourbon ruled Naples and Sicily, Pallagrello Bianco became a favorite of King Ferdinand IV.
The Palagrello Riccio Bianco has a deep golden yellow color. In the nose intense expressions of mirabelle plum, peach, apricot, acacia honey and Mediterranean herbs, with some hay and hazelnut in the back. The taste is rich and concentrated, delicately soft and particularly juicy.
