“The 2019 Bianco Santa Chiara is a deep golden colour with orange hues. It pulls me close to the glass and doesn’t let go, wafting up with masses of crushed rock, ginger, peppery dried flowers and exotic citrus. This is a textural animal, soft and silky, yet has a cheek-puckering intensity and an acid/mineral mix that literally sizzles upon the palate. It finishes long and salty in character, leaving pretty inner florals and a concentration of sour melon that resonates throughout the entire experience. The Santa Chiara represents one of the top values from Paolo Bea. It’s an old-vine blend of both indigenous and international varieties that goes through 25 days of maceration and is refines entirely in stainless steel for two years.” 92 points - Eric Guido, Vinous
