We have long commended the wines under Calabria’s Private Bin label on these pages. The Aglianico has long been a staple of this household. The Pinot Bianco is one of two white wines in the range, the other being a Vermentino. The 2015 vintage garnered a trophy at the Victorian Wine Awards.
The 2016 is a good wine, with up front notes of green apple, guava, nashi pear and lemon zest. There is a slight hint of confection that detracts ever so slightly. However, given the $15 price tag, who is to complain?!
