‘Bianco'

Procanico, Lazio, Italy

Like an embroidered linen paint-smock, textured & embracing, with a few smudges of genius leftover from projects passed. American winemaker Joy Kull caught the grape bug while working as a sommelier and swiftly realized her only option was to travel to a faraway land to expand her mind & dirty her hands. The goal of her wines is to be widely tried, easily understood & vastly appreciated. Grown on volcanic soils that add complexity & a ruched, mineral character. 70% of the grapes are crushed by foot and direct pressed, while 30% are macerated for a week to extract supportive and intriguing tannin. Pale n’ rusty gold, with laser-like pithy-lemon acidity, cherry blossoms, peach filling, salty cantaloupe & honey-glazed pastry for a balanced wonder. Drink, as your second bottle, on your two-year anniversary – reflecting on how far you’ve come together & envisioning how much farther you will go.
