San Ponziano is the patron saint of Umbria’s beautiful city of Spoleto, situated on a foothill of the Apennines. Focusing exclusively on indigenous Umbrian varieties, Paolucci combines organic winegrowing with gentle winemaking to craft this superb Trebbiano Spoletino. A brilliant lemon-gold in the bowl, Paolucci’s Il San Ponziano casts crisp aromas of fresh apricots, tangerine skin, iodine, and sage. Bright and bracing, the wine gains texture on the palate while expressing nuances of Asian pear, lime juice, and pine tips. A persistent mineral undercurrent runs through the wine and segues it to a long, juicy, and lingering finish. Truly delicious, versatile, and filled with character, Paolucci’s Il San Ponziano will work fantastically as a starter white or, ideally, as a partner to prosciutto di Parma, pork pâtés and terrines, braised lentils, vegetable-based risottos, and linguine with a white clam sauce. Enjoy now and over the coming three years.
