2022 La Gazzetta Vino Bianco skin contact

La Gazzetta Vino ‘Bianco’ a skin contact, orange wine from Trish Nelson in the Bolsena region of northern Lazio. Trish is Australian born, but a background in journalism led her all over the world. Ultimately she chose this rural corner of Lazio and dedicated her life to the countryside, outdoors and making wine. A blend of procanico, malvasia, ansonica, and moscato the wine is full of apricot fruits, caraway seed, smoked almonds. Certainly pop with food: labneh, lamb meatballs, hummus, you get the vibe. This is a 0 sulfur addition wine, and while it drinks cleanly, it won’t keep well overnight. Consume all! 

Trish Nelson was born in Australia but, following her parents' work as professors, grew up in various parts of Asia. Already a world traveler, her love affair with food and wine landed her in Italy and, during this period, she happened to meet Daniela and Antonio De Gruttola from Cantina Giardino. Giardino was Trish’s introduction to natural wine exposing her to a network of like-minded, forward thinking growers throughout Italy. Through Giardino, she later met Gianmarco Antonuzzi and Clémentine Bouveron of Le Coste, working there for a year at the same time as Joy Kull, another anglophone foreigner who now makes wine around the under the La Villana label. Trish now lives in a quaint home in Località Gazzetta high in the wooded hills above the village of Bolsena, farming grapes from three different distinct sites. Starting with a couple of of scattered vineyards around the volcanic Bolsena Lake.
