Rigogoli 2022
Trade Tools
Italy / Umbria
The Rigogoli, or “golden orioles", is a wine that was created as a tribute to the family of Marchese Giovanni Incisa della Rocchetta and gets its name from Giovanni’s beloved grandfather, Il Principe Corsini. Who was more affectionately known as Nonno Pio, who would greet Giovanni and his sister, Eleonora dressed by their mother in bright yellow jumpers, exclaiming, “Ecco i miei rigogoli!”
Harvest Note
2022 vintage has been a definitely unconventional vintage since the winter was quite mild; it followed a spring rich of rain showers and storms; the summer assisted to extremely hot temperatures and drough that went on until the end of the summer. The rain between September and October balaced the moisture pretty well and the quality of the grapes was good and with a rich sugar concentration.
Tasting Note
Creamy and refreshing with flavors of peach, almond, sweet spice and finishes with a clean, sea-swept minerality. The Viognier rounds out Grechetto’s acidity and the blend gives a perfect balance between elegance, complexity and body.
