Ah, Tuscany! How we love your rolling countryside, cypress trees and olive groves. Home to some of the best loved Italian reds, this region also produces some stellar whites such as the 2018 Bianco Toscana Erastos, which is one of our firm favorites. Crisp and complex this captivating wine is guaranteed to satisfy New and Old World wine lovers alike. Fresh, vibrant and fruit-filled like a Tuscan sunset, this refreshing wine is tailor-made for a summer's day with its elegant flavors that enliven delicate pork and seafood dishes.

About the wine

Pause for a moment to admire the yellow glow of Bianco Toscana 'Erastos' with its straw-yellow hue and subtle gold reflections that hold all the allure of a late summer romance, but without the heartbreak. Heavily perfumed with scents of yellow and tropical fruits, this vintage has a dry but soft minerality that's smooth and embracing on the palate. This wine sparkles alongside cheese, seafood, and chicken dishes. Try it with corn chowder, shrimp and creamy grits, or pork sauteed with pears and shallots.  

Blend: Chardonnay (add body, apples and pears) , Sauvignon Blanc (adds racy, lemon-lime freshness), Viognier (adds exotics aromatics)
