The biodynamic winery Podere Le Ripi in Montalcino is owned by Francesco Illy, whose family founded the well-known coffee brand, Illy Caffé. The focus lies on Sangiovese, but Podere Le Ripi also makes this white wine from Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia Bianca, fermented and aged in amphora for nine months. 'Tuscan whites very often taste hard and rough and have a tired acidity, but using terracotta amphoras, we avoid that and instead obtain crunchy and fresh wines,' says winemaker Sebastiano Nasello. The wine is orange and plays joyfully with bitter, salty and sweet flavours. It has aromas of honey, wild medicinal herbs, yellow apples and orange zest. The light tannin structure gives weight, while zesty acidity and herbal savouriness make this wine very drinkable. It could easily replace a light red on the dinner table.
