2024 Sterparo - Basilicata Bianco IGT Greco (750ml)
The 2024 Sterparo Basilicata Bianco IGT delivers a crisp, food-friendly expression of the Greco grape, bottled at peak vibrancy after gentle fermentation preserves its native acidity and primary aromatics.
On the nose, the wine releases bright lemon zest, white peach, and subtle honeysuckle alongside a faint slate presence. The medium-bodied palate moves cleanly through green apple and dried herbs, finishing dry and refreshing with a lingering stony grip. Served lightly chilled between 45°F and 50°F, this white holds its structure through warm weather meals or cool evening dinners.
