| Description: | None of us saw this wine coming: a total surprise from the indigenous Bellone grape grown in Lazio in Central Italy, just to the southwest of Rome itself. The grape has often been made in a slightly sweeter style in the past, but this example is full and firm, lightly oaked, and made in a food-friendly, dry style. If you have a soft spot for the Central Italian whites of Frascati, Castelli Romani, Marino and the Colli Albani, you might recognise its limpid, faithfully grapy aromas and soft honeysuckle charm. That wouldn't alone be enough to propel the wine through to a Platinum medal and a Best In Show appearance. What makes the difference here is the substance, concentration and drive of this wine, together with the haunting subtlety of its aromatic profile. It's absolutely (we felt) a wine for fine dining and the table, and the soundness and innate generosity of its flavours combined with the fact that it is not disconcerting or confronting in any way gives it a strikingly wide range of gastronomic applications. It deserves a wider audience. (Best in Show) - DWWA 2024 |
