The label may look summery and carefree, but this is some old school orange wine right here! Made from a blend of Trebbiano, Malvasia, and Grechetto, with each variety spending 20 days on skins. Savoury straw & hay up front, leading into mandarin oils & ripe citrus. The palate has some chewy tannins from the skin contact with plenty of zest & vitality to keep it all fresh.

Leeona Bianco Trebbiano Malvasia Grechetto 2019

A very special wine - made by a monastery in Lazio, under the tutelage of the prolific winemaker, Paolo Bea. It's a blend of Trebbiano, Malvasia, and Verdicchio which was co-fermented and macerated on skins for 14 days. Despite the noticeable skin contact, the tannins are quite gentle and user-friendly. Dried apricot, baked apple, sandalwood, candied orange peel, and fresh herbs with mouthwatering acidity and a long, complex finish.
