Umbria, Italy
Focusing exclusively on indigenous Umbrian varieties, Iacopo Paolucci combines organic winegrowing with gentle winemaking to craft this superb Trebbiano Spoletino. A deep straw gold in the bowl, Paolucci’s Il San Ponziano casts crisp, high-altitude aromas of fresh apricots, persimmon, hops, and iodine. Bright and bracing on the fore-palate, the Trebbiano’s rich texture on the palate reflects the five days spent on the lees, expressing nuances of lime zest, tangerine, Asian pear, and fresh rosemary. A persistent marine mineral undercurrent runs through the wine and segues it to a juicy and lingering finish. Truly delicious, versatile, and filled with character (like their superb Grechetto de Todi) Paolucci’s Il San Ponziano will work fantastically as an attention-grabbing starter white or, ideally, as a partner to prosciutto di Parma, pork pates and terrines, braised lentils, vegetable-based risottos, and linguine with a white clam sauce. Enjoy now and over the coming two years. Fantastic wine!
