Le Tende, Custoza, 2021
Le Tende have just 14 hectares of vines, all organically tended (certified) near Colà di Lazise, just above the south-eastern corner of Lake Garda. Their single white is a blend of Garganega, Cortese, Trebbiano and Trebbianello (= Tocai Friulano). Pretty, floral scent; and then builds well on the palate, showing pear and lime flavours. Mid-weight, a classic, not obviously fruity, northern Italian white. Now-2023

Tenuta Casali, Bassamarea Bianco, Bianco Rubicone, 2020
The reputation of Trebbiano as a grape suffered terribly from too many boring, neutral whites produced all over central Italy. This example from, produced by diligent young growers in conversion to organics, shows the simple and flexible virtues of the grape. Crisp citrus with an orange accent, lightly herbal, nicely rounded, with a fresh finish. Honest, refreshing and tasty. Drink this year"The widely planted Trebbiano grape has a reputation for producing light and anodyne wine - but...
