D' Aragona

2012 Puglia Malvasia Bianca

The Conte Ottavio Piccolomini D'Aragona is a delightful expression of Malvasia Bianca hailing from the sun-kissed region of Puglia. This white wine captivates the senses with its shimmering golden hue and enchanting aromas that evoke thoughts of ripe stone fruits and delicate floral notes. On the palate, it showcases a vibrant acidity that offers a refreshing lift, perfectly balancing its luscious fruit intensity. The wine's body is medium, allowing for a harmonious mouthfeel that is both smooth and engaging. This handcrafted gem is bone dry, making it wonderfully versatile for food pairings, especially with seafood or light pasta dishes. Overall, the 2012 vintage presents a charming and elegant interpretation of Malvasia Bianca, ideal for both casual sipping and celebratory occasions.

Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
