Bisson U Pastine Bianchetta Genovese 2024 white wine bottle

Tasting Notes


Straw yellow with greenish highlights.

On the Nose is crisp green apple, white wildflowers, Meyer lemon zest, and a distinct ocean breeze salinity.

On the Palate is bone-dry, light-to-medium bodied, with bright acidity, flinty minerality, and a subtle almond-skin bitterness on the finish.

Serving: Ideal temperature:46°F – 50°F (8°C – 10°C), well-chilled, but not ice-cold; over-chilling masks its delicate floral aromatics and subtle mineral finish.

Food Pairing:

  • Classic Pesto Genovese with trofie pasta.
  • Grilled white-fleshed fish, oysters, langostines, raw scallops, or seafood risotto.

The 2024 Bisson “U Pastine” Bianchetta Genovese is a rare, sea-influenced white from the Portofino DOC in Liguria, Italy, made from 100% Bianchetta Genovese. It comes from Azienda Agricola Bisson, founded in 1977 by Pierluigi Lugano to save Liguria’s disappearing native grapes. The grapes grow on rescued vines on steep, hand-farmed cliffside terraces above the Gulf of Tigullio, and the wine is fermented only in stainless steel with gentle lees aging. “U Pastine” is a Genovese dialect phrase meaning a “special or unique product.”

In the glass it is straw yellow with green highlights, crisp and saline. Green apple, white wildflowers and Meyer lemon zest come first, followed by a distinct ocean-breeze note. On the palate it is bone-dry and light-to-medium bodied, with bright acidity and flinty minerality, and a faint almond-skin bitterness on the finish.

Why buy it: This is Bianchetta Genovese wine for Florida drinkers who want something different from the usual Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. The grape is rarely found outside Liguria, and the wine is dry, clean and unoaked.

When to open it: Choose it for a seafood night built around fresh oysters, langostines, raw scallops, seafood risotto or simply grilled white fish. It is also the classic match for pesto Genovese with trofie pasta, the dish it comes from. It’s a good aperitif on a warm evening, a patio dinner or a relaxed weekend lunch.
