Cignomoro, Valle D'Itria 30 Vecchie Vigne Bianco d'Alessano 2022 White

Cignomoro’s 30 Vecchie Vigne Bianco d’Alessano is a distinctive white wine from Valle d’Itria in Puglia, crafted from old vines and shaped by the region’s sun, sea breezes and characteristic red soils. Its combination of ripe fruit, floral elegance and subtle oak makes it a compelling expression of this lesser-known Puglian grape variety.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows an intense straw-yellow colour with attractive golden highlights. Its refined, expressive bouquet combines delicate jasmine and floral notes with aromas of golden apple, tropical fruit, vanilla, almonds and honey. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rounded, balanced by refreshing acidity. Gentle oak influence and lees ageing add depth and a layered texture, while the finish is pleasantly light and persistent. It is enjoyable now, although its structure and freshness should allow it to develop further over the next few years when stored in suitable conditions.

Production
Made from the indigenous Bianco d’Alessano grape in Valle d’Itria, the wine reflects Puglia’s warm Mediterranean climate, coastal influence and iron-rich red soils. Following gentle pressing, the must is fermented in barriques and matured on its lees in the same barrels for four months. This careful process integrates fine vanilla and woody aromas with the wine’s natural fruit and structure. Information about the specific harvesting method is not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Its rounded texture and refreshing acidity make it a natural partner for goat’s cheese, roast or grilled poultry, creamy pasta dishes and lightly seasoned white meats. Decanting is generally unnecessary, although opening the bottle 10–15 minutes before serving can help its floral and fruit aromas unfold.

Producer
