2021 Bastianich Vespa Bianco - Friuli Venezia Giulia IGT - 5 Bottles (0.75L)

Bastianich – Vespa Bianco 2021 Veneto? Actually Venezia Giulia IGT – Friuli-Venezia Giulia Lot of 5 bottles of 0.75 L – Harvest 2021 Vespa Bianco 2021 is one of the emblematic wines of the Bastianich winery, founded in 1997 in the Colli Orientali del Friuli. It is an important white, conceived not only for immediate freshness, but above all to express structure, complexity, and the capacity to evolve over time. The winery itself describes it as a wine created to show the power and balance that a great Friulian white can achieve. A great Friulian white Vespa Bianco is born mainly from the meeting of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, accompanied by a small component of Picolit. For 2021 the composition is reported to be about 45% Chardonnay, 45% Sauvignon Blanc, and 10% Picolit. The Bastianich vineyards are located in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, a territory characterized by the typical “ponca,” soil consisting of marls and arenites. The proximity of the Alps and the Adriatic Sea also creates strong climatic influences that contribute to the mineralogy and personality of the wines of the area. Vinification Chardonnay and Sauvignon are worked separately, combining the use of stainless steel with that of large barrels of French oak. This choice preserves the fresh and mineral component of the wine while adding structure, depth, and complexity. The result is a white that is decidedly more structured than a wine intended for simple young consumption: Vespa Bianco is also designed for bottle evolution. Organoleptic characteristics In the glass it shows a straw yellow color tending toward golden. The aromatic profile combines citrus fruits and mineral notes with progressively richer hints of ripe pear, flowers, honey, and yellow fruit. With evolution, nuances of dried fruit, spices, and light sensations from wood aging can emerge. On the palate it is rich and structured, supported by good acidity and a saline component that keeps the wine balanced and dynamic. The finish is long and persistent. The 2021 vintage has also received 93 points from Falstaff, highlighting its balance, harmonious acidity, and persistent finish. A historic label of Bastianich Vespa Bianco is now one of the most recognizable labels of the company. Over the years it has won 5 times the Tre Bicchieri of Gambero Rosso and 3 times the 5 Grapes Bibenda, confirming the qualitative continuity of the project.
