This rare and wonderful dry Bianco from Quintarelli is just what you would expect from a producer of this magnitude, who makes just the one white wine. Floral, and minerally with zing and zest, this delicious white is poised and very pretty, effortlessly balancing its ripe fruits with electric acidity. Sneaky minerality lingers on this wine's complex, sustained finish. Stunning and textural, this wine is a seductive blend of Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Saorin from 30-year-old vines grown in mineral-rich soils.

Reviews

The 2023 Bianco Secco is a traditional blend of Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Saorin. This fifth grape variety is the local name for Tocai or Friuliano, and as far as I know, only the Quintarelli family still refers to it by its local name "Saorin". The wine is partly aged in oak, the rest in stainless steel tanks. A small percentage of the blend is appassimented. This is done by adding a small portion of the air-dried Passito Amabile del Cerè to this wine. The Bianco Secco offers plenty of sweet melon and peach with a medium-bodied texture. The bouquet is characterised by beautiful mineral notes.
