Bianco di Pitigliano is a white Italian wine produced in the region of Toscana. It received Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) designation in 1966.
The wine is made primarily from Trebbiano and Grechetto grape varieties, although the inclusion of other local varieties is permitted. Bianco di Pitigliano has a dry, full-bodied taste and is often described as having a floral aroma with hints of nuts and spices.
Traditionally, the wine is enjoyed with seafood, white meats, and fresh cheeses. Its high acidity makes it a great companion for rich and fatty foods as it helps cleanse the palate.
Located in the southern hills of Tuscany, the town of Pitigliano is known for its volcanic soils and warm Mediterranean climate, both of which contribute to the characteristic features of the wine.
Bianco di Pitigliano is generally best consumed within a few years of bottling, but some higher quality versions can age well for several years.
