Montenidoli 'Vinbrusco'

Bruce Sanderson of Wine Spectator summed up Montenidoli perfectly. He said the "wines of Montenidoli are in a class by themselves" and that "they are stylistically unlike any others in the denomination and stand head and shoulders above the rest." He went on to say "they remind me of other wines uniquely tied to place and the vision of the winemaker. Cappellano, Soldera's Case Basse, Valentini and Emidio Pepe come to mind from Italy; Henri Bonneau and Domaine Leroy in France." Needless to say, Elisabetta Fagiuoli has great command over this-oft simple wine.

Her 'Vinbrusco' bottling is a blend of Trebbiano and Malvasia, two classic Italian varietals. In line with her other white wines, this exhibits a beautiful rich texture with ripe peach, melon, and bruised apples fruits. Orange peel, wild herb, ginger, and the Montenidoli signature of crushed nuts and saline come together to make yet another great medium-bodied white wine from Elisabetta Fagiuoli.
