The goal of the Bastianich winery is to understand the history and culture of Friuli-Venezia Giulia and to create unique wines that speak of place but, at the same time, show remarkable power and balance.
And it is precisely for this reason that the Vespa Bianco and Vespa Rosso were born.
WASP WHITE IGT VG 2020
"Vespa Bianco was created to showcase the power and evolution that a great Friulian white can achieve, with uncommon complexity and longevity."
GRAPE VARIETY
Blend based on Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc
FOOD PAIRING
White meats, such as roast chicken or turkey, and also veal, pork and meaty fish.
TASTING NOTES
A tightly-wound balance of minerality and citrus, evolving over time into a denser expression of wildflowers, honey and ripe pear. Its tannic structure and acidic backbone lend it not only immediate impact, but also a long life.
WASP RED IGT VG 2018
"Vespa Rosso is our estate red, which balances power and finesse through a combination of indigenous and international varieties."
GRAPE VARIETY
Blend based on Merlot e Refosco
FOOD PAIRING
Ideal with roasts, steaks and pork dishes.
TASTING NOTES
Vespa Rosso, is uncommonly fruit-forward and structured for a “cold climate” red wine, yet it retains many of the spicy, earthy notes that characterize Friulian reds.
