Spotlight. Silence. Then: boom—you appear, legs first, draped in sequins and citrus, balancing a peach on one hip and a white lily behind your ear. You are the 2022 Il Bianco. And baby, you're not here to behave.
You're light, zippy, and absolutely unfiltered—like if a seaside Vermentino fell in love with a cabaret dancer and ran off to join the Ligurian circus. The crowd expects elegance. You give them lime zest, apricot, a flick of sea spray, and just enough sass to make them squirm in their seats.
There’s acidity, sure—but it’s more of a tease than a slap. You glide across the tongue with floral flair, pausing just long enough to make the oysters blush and the risotto beg for a second date.
And just when they think they’ve got you figured out? You vanish in a puff of confetti and almond-skin saltiness, leaving only a lipstick print on the rim of their glass.
