Venezie 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 here 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 in 2015 – to create a wonderfully aromatic white that’s become a massive customer favourite. It’s terrific on its own, but you won’t be disappointed if you pair it with a fish dish such as trout with almonds, or creamy pasta.
