Valle di Assisi, Assisi Grechetto D.O.C.
(ah-SEE-see gra-che-TOH)

Tasting Notes: St. Francis of Assisi famously said: “Everyday, preach the gospel -- and when necessary, use words.” Translation: let your actions do the talking. The estate Valle di Assisi, owned by the Bianconi family, certainly lives by this credo. Sparing no expense, famiglia Bianconi has carved out a name for themselves, with their 4-Star Resort and Spa surrounded by their ultra-manicured, spectacular vineyards. Humble and hardworking, they delight in surprising people with their continuous excellence. Here, this Grechetto is a stunner -- brisk, bracing, clean, with honeysuckle and pineapple notes.
