2022 Zyme - Veneto Bianco IGT Il Bianco From Black to White (750ml)

Built from a naturally mutated strain of the Valpolicella red grape, the 2022 Zýmē Veneto Bianco IGT “Il Bianco” combines concrete-tank fermentation and extended lees aging to deliver a structured, high-acid white blend optimized for table flexibility.

The vintage layers Rondinella Bianca with Gold Traminer, Kerner, and Incrocio Manzoni pulled from estate plots across Negrar, Illasi, and Tregnago. Managed under organic viticulture protocols, the crop ferments in stabilized cement vats for twenty days before resting on fine lees for six months. Bypassing oak barrel contact preserves the varietals’ original malic backbone while the prolonged yeast interaction builds a silkier mid-palate without masking primary fruit markers.

Aromatic markers include white peach, acacia blossom, and crushed limestone, closing with restrained vanilla bean and dry almond skin. The medium-bodied architecture maintains vibrant tension from entry to finish. Align the vintage with harissa-spiced shrimp linguine, fresh mozzarella plates, herb-driven risotto, or semi-hard washed rind cheeses. Pour directly from a cellar setting calibrated between forty-six and fifty degrees Fahrenheit to preserve volatile compounds and maintain crisp acidity.
