The Veneto in northern Italy boasts a cool Alpine climate that makes it perfect for crisp, aromatic whites. Pinot Grigio is often the preferred grape, but this ‘visionary’ white is an inspired blend from Alessandro Gallici. Born in Friuli, he knows the vineyards like the backs of his hands. For years he was head winemaker at a top cellar in the heart of Friuli, until in 2011 he branched out on his own. In Visionario Alessandro combines local Friulano with other grapes – Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer for the 2015 vintage – to create a wonderfully aromatic white that is a massive customer favourite. It’s terrific on its own, or with a range of appetisers, and in a handy half bottle it’s perfect for picnics and lunchtime too.
