2022 Bindo IGT Toscana Bianco, Bindi Sergardi, Tuscany

"The 2022 I Colli Bindo IGT Toscana Bianco, a blend of Chardonnay, Malvasia and Trebbiano, is light, fresh and appealing. The perfect aperitif, it also went perfectly with my signature salmon three ways starter (homemade gravadlax, potted salmon and smoked salmon pâté, since you ask). Ooh, is there any more? asked Jeni."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator

A fresh, fragrant and characterful white from this excellent estate with expressive aromas of peach melon and pear. Lovely balance on the palate a rush of crisp grapefruit and ripe lemon kicks things off then unfurls with luscious stone fruit flavours, followed by a touch of toasted almond and savoury spice. Lots going on here an intense, food-friendly wine, as well as a zippy, flavourful aperitif.

(Tuscany is of course best known for its fine reds, but also brings us some striking, characterful whites. Bindi Sergardi blend local grapes Malvasia and Trebbiano with a little chardonnay to delicious effect).
