Its blend combines \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e, Sauvignon, and Picolit, offering clear aromas of apricot in spirits, beeswax, broom, and honey. On the palate, it is distinguished by a silky texture, balanced by a \u003cstrong\u003elively minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e that provides great persistence and balance. This complex aromatic profile pairs perfectly with shellfish, white meats, and \u003cstrong\u003emature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards extend across the \u003cstrong\u003ehills of Premariacco and Cividale\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the province of Udine, at an altitude between 60 and 130 metres. Excellent sun exposure ensures optimal ripening of the grapes. The territorial imprint is defined by \u003cstrong\u003eEocene limestone-based marl\u003c\/strong\u003e, a formation that enriches the wine by infusing it with a marked savouriness.

After careful sorting and gentle pressing, fermentation takes place separately: one part in temperature-controlled steel tanks, the remainder in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. The wine subsequently rests for a long time on the lees using the \u003cstrong\u003ebâtonnage technique\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential step to increase its volume and texture. The process concludes with targeted \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e, which stabilises its overall harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1997 between Premariacco and Cividale, \u003cstrong\u003eVespa Bianco di Bastianich\u003c\/strong\u003e is an icon of excellence from Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
