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.
