Expanisve! Mouthfilling! Sumptuous!  We love Fertuna’s Tuscan coastal dry Bianco for its surprising complexity and nuanced minerality while maintaining an invigorating and bright tropical citrus fruit and “sorbet-like” freshness making it ideal for summer time drinking.  Pairs well with chilled seafood and shellfish.  Of course tomatoes and burrata with olive oil and fresh basil. Pizza Bianco! Or try with a Spanish gazpacho!

The hand harvested grapes are gently pressed from a single vineyard lot “Alborelli”. The “must” rests at low temperature in steel tank for a few days to amplify the aromatic extraction. Fermentation is with indigenous yeasts. The wine continues to evolve in steel for 12 months on its “fine lees”. Then it’s moved to age another 6 months in new Allier tonneaux (French oak) where various bâtonnage operations (stirring) are employed to give complexity and intensity to the wine.

Ok!  Final SURPRISING disclosure!  Droppello is 100% Sangiovese (Blanc) without even a glint of skin color and is completely translucent. This is the maximum expression of a still dry white wine obtained from red wine grapes, and interprets the soul of Sangiovese in a totally modern and original way.  YOU MUST TRY!!!
