Baci Sulla Bocca

Il Palagio

This is the first Il Palagio wine from the hand of famed winemaker, Riccardo Cotarella, who joined just before harvest. Trudie asked Riccardo to tackle this wine in particular, as they are both obsessed with Vermentino. She named it Baci Sulla Bocca (meaning kiss on the mouth) because it struck Trudie as exactly that when she first tasted it. Trudie then created the label using Elliott Erwitt's 1955 photo California Kiss, explaining: "at a time when hugs and kisses have been given up to the pandemic, this wine is sent forth as a hope for the future.” This kiss delights with fragrant notes of peach, apricot, and jasmine.
