Marco Turco, Vespasi 2023
Place: Veneto, Italy
Grape: Vespaiola
Vibe: Fun
Vespaiola, a new one to me, but a grape with such personality. It used to be prized for sweet stuff due to its ability to hold its acid for seemingly forever. Now, Marco is leading the charge in vinifying things totally bone dry. This is a combination of three hillside plots on volcanic soil, in cellar purity is preserved by hanging out in a mix of fibreglass and concrete. Golden both appearance and flavour. Lush and tropical-fruited with subtle spice and just enough phenolic bite on the finish. Delicious!
