Bruna Pigato di Riviera di ligure Ponente U Baccan 2023

$7999

Bruna is a benchmark Liguria producer, and Pigato is the saline, sun-drenched native white grape of the Riviera di Ponente—the western coastal stretch that runs from Genoa to the French border. U Baccan is the top of the lineup, drawn from old vines and made to age. Expect a Pigato that's denser, more textured, and more savory than the simple seafood whites the grape is known for: ripe stone fruit, salted almond, fresh herbs, and the unmistakable salty lift of vineyards perched above the Mediterranean. A serious bottle from a serious site.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Bowler Wine

<p>This is a severe selection of 50-70+ year old Pigato vines mainly from the red clay "Le Russeghine" vineyard as well as a small selection from the blue clay "Garaxin" vineyard with soil rich in and fossil material. Yield per plant is very low.</br>The grape are soft-pressed, the must is allowed to settle, and then fermentation is allowed to begin in stainless steel. Once fermentation gets underway, the wine is racked to large cask, where it continues its fermenting. Aged in Austrian acacia casks and French oak casks for at least ten months on the lees with batonnage. Stabilization is done at natural cellar temperatures. Bottle aged an additional 8 months, so it is released a year later than the Majè and Le Russeghine Pigatos. </p>

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Tasting Profile

Ripe peach, salted almond, fresh herbs, and a saline lift. Medium-bodied, textured, and savory with a long finish.
