2019 Tenuta Bellafonte “Sperella” Montefalco Bianco
The Moment
This is the white you open when you want freshness and substance — something bright enough to wake up the table, but layered enough to stay interesting through a meal.
It’s expressive without being flashy, textured without being heavy. A wine that rewards slowing down.
What It Feels Like
The nose opens with lifted citrus and green tones — lime, bergamot, pineapple, and freshly cut grass — clean and energetic.
On the palate, the wine turns richer and more savory. Juicy citrus and exotic fruit are layered with subtle yeastiness and a saline edge that gives the wine shape and grip. The texture is broad and mouth-filling, balanced by freshness rather than weight.
The finish is long, mineral-driven, and quietly persistent — the kind that makes you reach for another bite of food.
