For many wine and food lovers, Italy means Tuscany and Chianti. Yet the region’s winemakers produce terrific tasting whites, too, and none better than this dazzlingly fresh one from gifted winemaker Paolo Masi. He’s been delighting fans with his handcrafted wines for two decades now, and is a great exponent of the style. Paolo makes his wines at Fattoria di Basciano, the family property founded in 1900 high on a hill overlooking the Argomenna Valley. His Bianco Vergine is a mix of native Trebbiano and Malvasia, with international star Chardonnay for extra roundness. It’s all about crisp, zesty fruit, so makes a most refreshing apéritif. Ideal partners include delicate dishes like grilled fish, summer salads, risotto bianco or creamy pasta.
