Vino Bianco “Il Bianco” - Officina del Vino (Luca Gili)
In the heart of Eastern Canavese, “Il Bianco” is a macerated white wine that embodies Luca Gili’s philosophy: sincere, expressive wines deeply rooted in their territory. The harvest takes place in mid-October, when grapes have reached full maturity, recalling the historical tradition of local passito wines but reinterpreted in a dry and modern style. The result is a wine that maintains the intensity and structure of concentrated whites while offering surprising freshness, captivating sip after sip.
Aging in acacia barrels, a delicate and aromatic wood, enhances the aromatic complexity and adds a pleasing softness without overshadowing the fruit. The nose reveals intense aromas of apricot and candied fruit, intertwined with hints of honey, sweet spices, and a subtle touch of pistachio shell, creating a magnetic and engaging bouquet. On the palate, it is full-bodied, fresh, sapid, and persistent: every sip expresses the mineral richness of the morainic soil and the balance achieved between structure and drinkability.
“Il Bianco” unites tradition and modernity, reflecting a vineyard carefully tended and a winemaker who interprets Erbaluce in a new light while respecting its identity. Its length, persistence, and aromatic complexity make it an excellent companion to structured seafood dishes, shellfish, aged cheeses, or perfect for solitary tasting moments. This wine is a declaration of love for the Canavese, its history, and its vineyards, translated by Luca Gili into an authentic, powerful, and memorable sensory experience.
