Lot #299. Bastianich Vespa Bianco 2008

Description: Consists of 6 Magnums, 1.5L
Score: 92 AG.
"The 2008 Vespa Bianco impresses for its textural finesse, depth and richness. Light floral honey, juicy apricots, mint and cantaloupe meld together seamlessly in this lush yet mid-weight, beautifully precise Vespa Bianco. The wine turns pointed and more delicate on the sublime, understated finish. The 2008 is the first vintage to be aged exclusively in cask, a decision that has paid off quite handsomely. Vespa Bianco is 45% Chardonnay, 45% Sauvignon Blanc, and 10% Picolit . . . . Never one to keep still for long, proprietor Joe Bastianich has a new set of wines this year in his Adriatico line." Wine Advocate #193, Feb 2011
