Savory to the core, the 2024 SM Bianco Vino di Contrada smolders up from the glass with crushed stones, dried herbs, apricot and musky lime. This is silky in texture with ripe orchard fruits complicated by saline minerality and sour citrus atop brisk acidity. The 2024 tapers off with a cascade of inner florals over a salty concentration and touches of kiwi. It shows the dry warmth of the vintage while maintaining fabulous form and refinement.

A fresh style full of aromatic layers of lemon pulp, curd and leaves with chalky minerality. Light-bodied, showing zesty acidity and a tight yet precise palate. The chewy, polished finish offers citrus and minerals. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
