The white enigma of Bolgheri. In a region that has achieved immortality through Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, few dare to make history with white wine. But Cinzia Merli dared to – and created the white alter ego of her legendary red Paleo line in 1991 with Paleo Bianco. What began as a modest creation for local restaurants developed into one of the most enigmatic and sought-after white wines in Italy. The name – derived from "pagliaio", the Tuscan haystack – has the same poetic soul as its red brother, but its character is completely unique. 70% Chardonnay and 30% Sauvignon Blanc merge here to create a symphony of Mediterranean intensity that translates international grape varieties into Tuscan terroir. Originally, Sauvignon Blanc dominated this blend, but over the decades Cinzia has reversed the proportions – an evolution that led the Paleo Bianco from the citrusy freshness of its youth to the structured complexity that characterises it today.

A wine of exceptional density and salty minerality presents itself in the glass. Citrus fruits and white peach dance with toasted almonds and a hint of vanilla, while the creamy texture is infused with precise acidity. It is this Mediterranean soul – intense, deep, surprisingly complex – that makes the Paleo Bianco one of the few white wines that can make Bordeaux lovers turn round. In a world of many irrelevant white wines, Paleo Bianco stands as a monument to substance and origin. It proves, and not just today, that Bolgheri can do more than just great red wines. SUPERIORE.DE
