Le Piane 'βιαηκΩ' Vino Bianco, 2023

Le Piane 'βιαηκΩ' Vino Bianco, 2023

Regular price $32.00

This wine is made from 100% Erbaluce. The grape is a rare varietal indigenous to Piedmont. We would pair it with a light onion-stuffed agnolotti, or potatoes au gratin with shaved black truffle or truffle oil. The wine is vinified whole cluster, and fermented at very low temperatures in large wood barrels and cement tanks. 10% of the juice sees a long maceration, adding slightly more fruit and texture to a usually acidic light bodied white. The wine's primary flavor profile is strong with gooseberry, honeydew, and white pepper. Enjoy this rare treat from Le Piane, a producer bringing back the once forgotten region of Boca.

Details

From the winemaker:
"Our Erbaluce wine respects in my view how the grape looks like (golden with even pink reflects) and taste (savoury and crisp as the skins are quite thick) – named by old people “the white Nebbiolo”, means a structured, full bodied wine with length and mineral, salty taste, even if powerful and creamy supported by a good acidity. It’s not just a white wine nice to have in our portfolio, but a real very personal interpretation of Erbaluce, which will for sure also help to reestablish the historical value of this grape in Piedmont and so again a very important (and expected from our customer and the worldwide press) statement of Le Piane in the Italian wine scenery.

Lastly some words about the choice of the label: The absurd Italian legal prescriptions does not allow us to mention the grape variety Erbaluce on the label (neither in any other communication). Erbaluce in Boca by old people is named “Greco”. But also “Greco” we are not allowed to use. So we named our wine “biahkW” in greek letters, excusing to greek people that we used the letter not in appropriate way but that all over the world they would be read easily as 'Bianco-White.'"
