PASANELLA & FIGLIO BIANCO IGT MAREMMA, 2011 (CASE OF 12)

After the success of our Pasanella & Figlio Rosso, named by the New York Times as the 'Downtown wine of 2010', we're excited to announce our Pasanella & Figlio Bianco made from 100% Vermentino, the varietal used in Italy's most beloved summer wines and indigenous to Southern Tuscany's Maremma region. As with our red, we have focussed on bringing you another great-tasting, great-value, organic wine. Just like our Rosso, our Bianco is an IGT, which stands for "Indicazione Geografica Tipica", a quality indication that a wine's provenance is guaranteed from that region.

"Fruit-y freshness with a clean tang," describes the taste, says Ryan Ibsen, our Wine Director, adding: "You smell lemons, even almonds but you also taste minerality." Fermented in stainless steel with native yeasts, it has a zesty purity that Ryan says "reflects its origins almost transparently."

I associate Vermentino with langorous summer lunches by the beach in Tuscany's Versilia. Under the tende, we eat fresh fritto misto as we slake our thirsts with well-chilled glasses of this quintessential Italian white. Even when I'm sitting on South Street, a sip of Vermentino takes me back to those barefoot afternoons by the sea. I hope you find it similarly transporting.
