Gelso Bianco

2015 Puglia Fiano

Podere 29 Gelso Bianco is a delightful Fiano from the enchanting region of Puglia, showcasing the potential of this indigenous Italian varietal. This white wine presents a bright and luminous hue, inviting you to explore its aromatic profile. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied character that elegantly balances a medium acidity, offering a refreshing quality that enhances its charm. With pronounced fruit intensity, you can expect notes of ripe stone fruits such as peach and apricot, intertwined with floral hints and a subtle minerality that adds depth to the experience. Enjoyably crisp and well-structured, this wine is largely dry, making it a versatile companion for various culinary delights, from light seafood dishes to creamy pasta. Its overall composition reflects the rich terroir of Puglia, making the 2015 vintage a true expression of this unique winemaking region.

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.
