Bianco di Pitigliano DOC

One of Tuscany's oldest DOCs, from the volcanic tufa plateau around the cliff town of Pitigliano, historically home to a Jewish community that made kosher wine here. The white is a Trebbiano blend with Greco and Malvasia: light, crisp and citrusy with white flowers, a faint smoky mineral note from the tufa, and a soft, slightly bitter finish. Simple, refreshing, and priced accordingly.

Still hunting

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.

If you make Bianco di Pitigliano, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.

Can you help me get one?
