"The 2012 Vespa Bianco is one of the great white wines of northeast Italy. It is distinguished by the rich creaminess of its texture and beautifully abundant aromatic intensity. The wine opens to compelling tones of peach, stone fruit, white rose, creamy almond paste and apple pie. The wine is made with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and a small part Picolit, which adds much of the intensity and the overall fruity softness. Balanced acidity and rich consistency gives the wine an enduring sense of balance."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
Yields crisp, aromatic whites with citrus, herb and grassy notes. It shines in the Loire, Bordeaux blends and around the world for its refreshing zip.
