Ca' La Bionda Bianco del Casal 2023 Bianco Veronese

A 2023 Bianco Veronese IGT from Ca' La Bionda, fermented in barrique and aged for ten months on fine lees. It is luminous and fine, fresh but not thin, with structure, tension and a savoury progression that lengthens the finish with elegance. The style is essential and clean, built on local grapes, and it avoids easy aromatic fashions and softness. It suits spiced and elaborate dishes, including tandoori chicken. The colour is an intense straw yellow with golden reflections. Apricot and peach come first, with citrus nuances, then herbaceous and chalky notes. The palate is full-bodied, complex and consistent, with a long finish.
