Collecapretta Buscaia Bianco ‘24

This vibrant orange wine from Umbria's Collecapretta estate, earning 91 points from critics, showcases Malvasia's potential for skin-contact winemaking. The 2023 vintage spent three weeks macerating with its skins, developing complex aromas of dried apricot, chamomile tea, and roasted almonds. On the palate, flavors of quince paste, orange zest, and honeycomb unfold with remarkable texture - simultaneously tannic and creamy. The natural acidity keeps it fresh despite the oxidative style, leading to a long finish with notes of walnut and spice. Unfiltered and unfined, this artisanal wine demonstrates Italy's natural wine movement at its best. Pair with rich seafood stews, mushroom risotto, or aged pecorino cheese for an unforgettable experience.
