Vino Bianco “Leukò”

Italy
Calabria
2022

From the vineyard Frassà, at only 10m above sea level.  A blend of 70% Greco Bianco and 30% Gaglioppo. The Greco Bianco is macerated for a few hours and the Gaglioppo is vinified white after direct pressing. The co-fermentation occurs spontaneously in stainless steel and aging lasts 8 months in tank on the lees.  The wine is lightly filtered and lightly sulfured before bottling.  3000 bottles produced.

"“The 2022 Vino Bianco Leuko bursts from the glass with a wild aromatic display of ground ginger, incense, dried peaches and sour melon. It's soft and enveloping with a pleasant inner sweetness up front and zesty acidity as floral lace white pit fruits and candied citrus tones cascade throughout. The palate is left reeling, watering for more, as a perfumed floral air dissipates over tropical kiwi hints. This is Leuko on steroids. It's a blend of 70% Greco Bianco and 30% Gaglioppo, vinified white. “"
