Pàcina La Cerretina Bianco Toscana 2024

Pàcina La Cerretina Bianco, a Tuscan white with character

In La Cerretina Bianco 2024, I'd point to a blend in equal parts of Malvasía and Trebbiano, aged twelve months in barrique. The available indications place it between youthful and oaky, with a fairly pronounced aromatic intensity: a stylistic portrait, without precise notes that would allow us to announce particular aromas.

A Tuscan white from Pàcina

From the Pàcina estate in Tuscany, this wine is presented under the IGP Toscana designation. The 2024 vintage combines 50% Malvasía and 50% Trebbiano; it is also described as a natural wine. Its twelve months of barrel aging is the essential reference for understanding its style and sets it apart from a white with no prolonged passage under oak.

The tasting information does not specify the color, the nose, or the flavors: I prefer not to attribute to the wine notes that are not documented. The style references place it at 6 out of 9 on the young-to-oaky scale, at 5 out of 9 for body, and at 7 out of 9 for aromatic intensity. These indications suggest a pronounced aromatic expression, a medium structure, and a noticeable presence of wood aging, without replacing a tasting. It is therefore a wine to approach with curiosity, letting the glass reveal what the blend and the vintage truly express.

At the table, from fish to charcuterie

The suggested pairings range from aperitif to charcuterie, including seafood and white fish; red meats are also among the possibilities. I would serve it at a meal where you can take the time to savor it, or as an aperitif to discover its balance between Malvasía, Trebbiano, and barrel aging. An invitation to explore a Tuscan white whose details will reveal themselves in the glass, without preconceived ideas.
