Channing Daughters : Vino Bianco 2016

A Versatile White Blend from Long Island

The 2016 Vino Bianco vintage is made from 36% Pinot Grigio, 26% Sauvignon Blanc, 15% Tocai Friulano and 23% Chardonnay. This wine bursts with aromas and flavors of citrus, green apples, flowers, peaches and lemon. It was first made in 2001 and was the first white blend from the Long Island region of New York. Each variety is harvested and vinified separately, then blended together. The grapes are fermented and aged for 11 months on lees. This wine pairs wonderfully with fish and shellfish dishes, while it is also an excellent match for poultry, veal and pork with its complexity and fuller body.
