Orsi San Vito Posca Bianca

Posca Bianca is Orsi San Vito's joyful, unique white wine from Emilia Romagna, Italy, a blend of Pignoletto, Albana, Alionza, and Malvasia. Medium-bodied with a delicious round texture with notes of stone fruit, dried flowers, and a salty, nutty finish.

This non-vintage wine is drawn from a big old concrete vat which contains a blend of white grapes from different vineyards of various ages, from every vintage back to 2011. Each year, the wines are made in different ways, in a variety of vessels. The blend is made up mostly of the wine from the most recent vintage and the vat is constantly being topped up with young wine to prevent oxidation.

Orsi is located in Valsamoggia, on the hills around Bologna. This area is historically suitable for viticulture. To fully respect this vocation, and to produce wines that express the authenticity of this terroir, their farming technique allows them to revitalise the earth, stimulates the plants, and produces fruits that have a strong connection to their land.

In the cellar they respect this heritage by avoiding to use any invasive enological processes. 'This is not a matter of faith or even less a marketing strategy, it is a matter of taste: we want our wines to have a distinguished personality, that varies from one year to the other, we don't want them to be standardised.'

What you get is a continuously evolving wine that blends multiple vintages and fermentation vessels, creating layers of complexity and character. The combination of stone fruit, dried flowers, and salty, nutty finish makes this wine genuinely unique and compelling – a wine with distinguished personality that changes from year to year.

Serve it cool (not cold) with seafood, grilled fish, poultry, creamy dishes, or aged cheeses. This is honest, expressive Emilia Romagna wine from a producer committed to respecting terroir and avoiding standardisation, perfect for those looking for something truly unique and continuously evolving.
