Description
Fonterenza’s Bianco Capalbio 2024 is a distinctive Tuscan white with the texture and character of an orange wine, made entirely from Trebbiano. Sourced from one of Tuscany’s most respected artisanal producers, it offers a fresh yet layered expression that stands out for its authenticity and quiet complexity.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a warm golden hue, often with a subtle amber tint that hints at its skin contact style. The nose is bright and savory, with notes of ripe citrus, orchard fruit, dried herbs, white flowers, and a gentle earthy, tea-like undertone.
On the palate, it is textured and vibrant, balancing Trebbiano’s natural freshness with a more structured, grippy mouthfeel. Expect flavors of lemon peel, yellow plum, chamomile, and subtle saline minerality, finishing with good length and a dry, food-friendly edge. While enjoyable now for its energy and detail, it should also hold well over the next few years as its aromatic complexity develops further.
Production
Bianco Capalbio comes from Toscana, where warm Mediterranean influence and cooling breezes help Trebbiano ripen while preserving freshness. Fonterenza is known for working with a careful, low-intervention philosophy, and this wine reflects that approach through thoughtful harvesting and vinification that emphasizes purity, texture, and a sense of place. The orange-wine style suggests some degree of skin contact, which adds structure, color, and aromatic depth to the final wine.
Food & Serving
This is a versatile partner for Mediterranean cuisine, roast chicken, grilled fish, aged cheeses, vegetable risotto, and dishes with herbs or subtle spice. Serve slightly cool, around 10–12°C, to bring out both its freshness and texture. A brief decant can help open the aromatics, especially in its youth.
