2023 La Fralluca 'Bauci' Viognier

Place: Suvereto - Tuscany, Italy 

Variety: Viognier

Farming: Organic

La Fralluca is the small estate of Luca Recine and Francesca Della Giovampaola, based among the hills of Suvereto on Tuscany’s Mediterranean coast. Their thoughtful, site-driven wines reflect the region’s stony soils, coastal influence and natural warmth, balancing generosity with freshness and savoury detail.

Bauci is 100% Viognier from the north-facing Vigna Borea, where cool nights and breezes help preserve freshness in the fruit. White peach and apricot are layered with jasmine, sage and subtle spice, with a distinctive wet-stone minerality running underneath. The palate is generous and textural yet beautifully balanced by bright acidity and salinity, finishing long, savoury and precise. Rich without feeling heavy, it’s a distinctive coastal Tuscan expression of Viognier.
