On Lake Garda, in the Veneto region of Italy, Gianni Piccoli and his three sons make exceptional wine in the charming village of Bardolino. The Piccoli’s natural farming and low yields render highly aromatic and generously fruity wines. The local white wine, Bianco di Custoza, is a fruity, food-friendly wine. It is produced with the same blend of grapes Soave is made from, dominated by the local Garganega and with the addition of the rare Trebbianello.
The Custoza Greoto is a particular exciting, fun white wine. It boasts flavors of caramelized Granny Smith apples, a hint of honey and a stony, dry finish. It is juicy and zesty and the perfect aperitivo. It’s complex enough to pair well with grilled fish, lighter meats, roasted vegetables, or simple pastas.

Enjoy its rich aromatics and fruity finish with some delicate fish dishes as well as more substantial pasta and white meat.
Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
Gold Medal (Best in Show), 2023 Mundus Vini International Tasting
The area has also been isolated from the rest of Spain for generations, which has kept the wine prices far lower than wines of this quality would be anywhere else in the world. That’s why, despite having the Torres family name on the bottle and the consistent huge press (including the Gold Medal & Best in Show at the 2023 Mundus Vini International Wine Awards in Germany), these wines can still be scooped up for under $20/bottle. It’s like the Sancerre pricing of yesteryear.
Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.
The newly released 2022 Domaine Laroche Chablis Saint Martin has some big shoes to fill as the last four vintages have earned 92-points or higher, but the early indications are that this is line with previous vintages if not even a little bit ahead at this stage. The problem is – there’s almost none to go around with much smaller yields. Still this is beautiful and crisp, with good focus, energy and depth. I get the signature green fruits on the nose, with some Asian pear, and a hint of jasmine blossom. There’s a beautiful mineral streak that highlights this one. It’s a fantastic White Burg for the price.
