Pigatoandnbsp;is genetically related to Vermentino and likely named for the and#39;pigheand#39; (freckles) on its spotty skin. The Pigato vines at Punta Crenaandnbsp;were planted in the early 1970and#39;s on rocky, red clay not too far from the Ligurian Sea. andnbsp;It has an appealing honeyed, waxy texture- which is partly dueandnbsp;to its 4 months contact withandnbsp;the lees. It also has more acid and spice than other Pigatos weand#39;ve tried, surely a nod to the higher altitudes at which it is grown.andnbsp;

Consistent notes from my last experience, exactly 365 days ago...Such unplanned timing! Nose has fresh papaya, freshly washed lemon, under-ripe white peach and cold butter or candle wax. Palate has waxy yellow apple, coconut, white mushroom, fresh sage and light green herbal notes, faint peppery finish. I wish I had more patience, or looked at my notes before opening another bottle, oh well. This wine would appreciate another 5 years, drink future bottles at around 2023+.

I'd love to see this wine at 5-6 years of age, pretty interesting bottle now, likely more so in a few more years.

Always a fan of Pigato. This might be the lightest wine in the glass I’ve seen - could mistake it for water at the right angle. Delicate dry white flowers on the palate with a great acidy finish.
