(2024) From a 200-year-old winery owned by the Begnoni family, who have a focus on sustainability and environmental protection. This comes from hillside vineyards of carbonate minerals and clays and was fermented and given short ageing in stainless steel. A particularly peachy, soft and fragrant wine, a crisp golden delious crunch and bite of acidity freshens the palate, but it zips along with abundant fruit and zest.
(2024) A separate company from Carlo Zenegaglia, also reviewed: Vittorio Zenegaglia left his vineyards to two sons, whose descendants now run the respective companies. The third and fourth generation here farm 25 hectares, this from the oldest vines of the estate on calcareous and clay soils. It was fermented in a combination of stainless steel and French oak tonneaux, then spent 18 months in barrel, six in bottle. A little depth to the colour, and an intense peach and jasmine-touched aromatic. The barrel adds just a creamy edge of richness. In the mouth the juiciness is delicious, a mouth-watering combination of zesty grapefruit and lime with a core of nectarine.
