Tasting Notes: “Maestro” Sanguineti, Toscana’s beloved winemaker and enological ambassador, has made a white wine compliment to his popular Nessun Dorma SuperTuscan. In fact, Vincero! takes its name from the last line of Nessun Dorma, and means simply, “I will triumph!” And indeed, we believe he has, with this terrific blend of the increasingly popular Vermentino, with Malvasia Bianca and Chardonnay. Crisp yet lush, it’s approachable enough to sip alone, yet will pair with serious foods.
