Cinque Terre 2024 Dry White Blend

The 2024 Dry White Blend from Cinque Terre is a bright, coastal white wine that perfectly captures the dramatic seaside terraces and Mediterranean breezes of its Ligurian home. Crisp acidity, saline mineral drive, and stone-fruit freshness make it an excellent wine for alfresco drinking, seafood pairings or simply enjoying the moment.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Hailing from the Cinque Terre appellation on Italy’s Ligurian coast, the wine is crafted from traditional local grape varieties including roughly 50% Bosco, 25% Vermentino, and 25% Albarola (or similar proportions per the DOC rules). The steep, sun-drenched terraces, poor schist and sandstone soils, and the maritime climate lend distinct minerality and character to the wine. The 2024 vintage shows bright, early-picked fruit and a focus on freshness. The grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and often matured briefly on fine lees to add texture without masking the coastal clarity.

Tasting Profile

Nose: A lively bouquet of lemon zest, green apple peel and a faint whisper of sea breeze and wet stone. Subtle hints of white blossoms and pear flesh add dimension.
Palate: Medium-body with crisp acidity. Flavours of grapefruit pith, green pear, white peach and a saline mineral thread dominate. The texture is lean yet polished, with a hint of almond skin or fresh herbs in the mid-palate.
Finish: Clean and refreshing. The mineral edge lingers with a subtle saline note and just a touch of bitterness from citrus peel—leaving a persistent but gentle finish that invites another sip.
