Baccabianca is a unique 100% Cortese skin-contact wine. It comes from vines that are 40 and 15 years old. It undergoes 60 days of skin contact with native yeasts, spontaneous fermentation, 12 months of ageing in steel tanks, and 5 years in bottles. Around 6000 bottles are produced annually.

Wow. A serious, sophisticated, and non-vulgar skin-contact wine. Notes of apricot jam, dried herbs, dried apricot, cherry plum, and nuts, with some cognac-like hints. But what stands out is how balanced and seamless it is, while still maintaining intensity—tannins are powerful, but mature and integrated. Quaffable.
