Fabrizio Dionisio 2022 IGT Toscana Bianco ‘Linfa’ Viognier
Tasting Note
Introducing the exquisite ‘Linfa’ Bianco by Fabrizio, a captivating Viognier that embodies depth, complexity, opulence, elegance, and minerality. Crafted with meticulous care and minimal yields to ensure only the finest, most concentrated juice reaches the cellar, this is Fabrizio’s sole white wine, of which he is immensely proud. For Fabrizio, this wine demonstrates the similarities and affinities between the Rhône Valley and the Cortona terroir—two of the premier regions in the world for producing both Syrah and Viognier.
The wine boasts a rich aromatic bouquet typical of the variety, featuring both fruity and floral notes. It is characterised by tropical aromas of white flowers, banana, peach, apricot, and mango, along with hints of citrus peel, star anise, cardamom, gooseberry, and sage. On the palate, this Viognier offers a full-bodied, velvety texture with a perfect balance of acidity and savoury nuance. It presents a gentle warmth from alcohol paired with refreshing acidity, creating a complete wine that is harmoniously balanced and delightful both in its youth and after extended ageing in the bottle.
This remarkable white wine seamlessly combines the rich aromatic profile of the Viognier grape with crisp acidity and minerality. It is not merely a summer delight but a versatile white, suitable for enjoyment year-round and an ideal complement to rich and spicy dishes.
