Ceppaiano, Toscana Bianco IGT (Tuscany, Italy) 2019

Jun 23, 2021

By Michael Franz

 Blended whites from Tuscany are often quite pleasant but rarely very complex or exciting, making this a striking case in counterpoint.  A blend of Traminer (50%), Trebbiano (40%) and Viognier (10%), this is a terrific over-achiever, showing excellent purity of fruit, very fine balancing acidity, light/medium-body, and an impeccably clean finish.  The floral aromatic notes are very appealing, and whereas one expects to pay for those with a less-than-fresh finish, this offers a remarkably pleasant surprise in that regard.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Critics Challenge International Wine and Spirits Competition.
