4 /5

flagship Bastianich Vespa Bianco was created to highlight the power and the evolution of a great Friulian white can achieve. The Vespa manages to transcend the sum of its parts, confirming a wine of complexity and longevity out of the ordinary. A close balance of mineral and citrus notes, which in time turn into a denser feeling of wild flowers, clover honey and ripe pear. Its tannic and acidic structure makes immediate impact, as well as give it longevity.
