Stefano Legnani 'Bamboo Road' 2020 Gifts

Stefano Legnani 'Bamboo Road' 2020 GiftsUnlike almost any other Ligurian white wine available on the market, Legnani's 'Bamboo Road' is a mix of all the white varieties local to this coastal area near Genoa, with a few days of skin contact to boot. Golden colored, with a distinctly toffee like nose, the palate opens up to toasted rice, green olive, white melon, and almonds. We love love this wine with white sauce or greens based pastas. It's not a "normal" orange wine and is such a unique

co-fermented and made via carbonic maceration

It's a special wine that's meant to represent the diversity and beauty of this rugged Alpine part of very very northern Italy

and it was frequently considered too rustic: people often made it into forgettable rosés

the whiskey is aged in American white oak

Based on soils of sandstone and shell limestone
