Effervescent yet subdued. Apple and pear flavors with wildflowers on the nose. Extremely fun wine. — 3 years ago
Dark ruby coloration. No translucency. On the nose, plum, dark berry compote, smokiness, spice, smoked bacon, sulfur/minerals. On the palate, full bodied, cherry, dark berry, smoked oak and vanilla. The fruits are intense and jammy, and blends beautifully with the smoked oak and vanilla into a very, very long finish. Once it’s had a bit longer to breathe, notes of anise, chocolate and become more present making the wine even more rich and layered. — 4 years ago
SATRICO 2024, Bianco IGP. Lazio, Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
A precision blend of Chardonnay 34% · Sauvignon Blanc 33% · Trebbiano 33% from Casale del Giglio combining Chardonnay’s structure, Sauvignon Blanc’s aromatic lift, and Trebbiano’s freshness. Bottled at 13.5% ABV, this wine bridges modern technique with ancestral regional identity.
Aromas & Flavors
Layered and multidimensional. Citrus zest, white peach, subtle tropical hints, and delicate herbal notes weave together seamlessly. Aromatically complex without being aggressive, everything in tension and harmony.
Mouthfeel
Structured yet energetic. Chardonnay provides body, Sauvignon brings edge and lift, and Trebbiano adds linear freshness. The result is a dynamic, evolving palate that feels architectural and intellectually engaging.
Food Pairings
Branzino, herb-crusted chicken, pasta alle vongole, roasted vegetables, or aged pecorino.
Verdict
A cerebral white blend that moves faster than language. Dimensional, balanced, and deeply expressive of Lazio’s evolving white identity. This is serious white wine.
🍷 Personal Pick
Strategic allocation territory. This isn’t just a blend, it’s a statement. One for near-term reflection. One for future “I knew this was special” validation. — 25 days ago

Full big white — 4 years ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90min. The 2024 “Benedic” pours a bright ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with pretty notes of bright wild cherry, mixed flowers, some dried herbs and earth. On the palate, the wine is dry it’s medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This vintage shows freshness and approachability. Super easy to love. Drink now. — a month ago
This wine is very dark. It looks that way and it smells that way, too. The nose offers a funky, earthy, dare I say barnyard-y package of aromas. The fruit that is there, the blackberry, currant, and black plum, is muted and dwarfed by the savory smells. Tar, creosote, forest floor, and cigars are the main event. The palate bears much more fruit. Flavors of dark berry, black currant, plum, black cherry, elderberry and black Mission fig all vie for attention. The mouthfeel is fairly elegant, which is surprising after the brute force of the nose. Fine tannins and a gentle acidity will make a nice pairing with meatballs in a Bolognese sauce or sautéed mushrooms. — 10 months ago

Wonderfully lively blend from volcanic soils in Lazio, lees aged, made by nuns! Chamomile, almond, fennel, green apple and citrus, salt and rocks…wasn’t long before there was nun left. — a month ago
