Imagine the hallmark clarity of Collestefano’s style, combined with the fresh, linear character of whites from cooler climates – and the carefree, flavorful soul of an easy-drinking wine. This Marche Bianco from Collestefano fills a gap: straw-yellow with hints of green and gold, it opens with aromas of crusty bread, almond skin, pear, and cardamom. On the palate, it’s almost creamy and yeasty, yet retains the trademark freshness of all Collestefano wines. Flavors recall unripe pineapple and bread, leading to a clean, powerful, and pleasantly bitter finish. Tasty and exceptionally sincere, this wine stays true to the estate’s flawlessly executed style.
Once opened, you won’t want to stop drinking it – you’ve been warned!
