It’s an excellent release, vigorous and zesty.

About The Wine
The Lamoresca Bianco is made from Vermentino grapes farmed by Filippo and Nancy Rizzo.
Their pristine fruit and lo-fi winemaking techniques produce and wonderfully textural example of the variety.
Vermentino can be neutral at times, sometimes bland or insipid. Not the case here. Wild fermented with a few days on skins and released after a good rest in bottle - it takes Vermentino into delicious new territory.
It's glassy, saline and cut with a nervy acidity. More time in bottle will reveal more levels of detail and flavour, if you can keep your hands off it, that is.
About Lamoresca
Lamoresca was built from the ground up by the hands of Filippo and Nancy Rizzo.
The two had a passion for natural wines and growing things organically. After years spreading the good word of natural wine in retail and hospitality in Belgium, the two moved to Sicily and bought a farm populated with 46 ancient olive trees.
Now their farm, located 50km from the nearest vineyard, produces some of the most compelling, vibrant, and thirst-slaking wines in Sicily.
Their reds are bright, crunchy and have a real sense of life to them, the white is saline and exotic. These are wines of rare character and great energy. Pure, natural, and fundamentally delicious to the last drop.

Critic Reviews
"Saline, nutty, chamomile and tangerine, or something like that. It’s slightly sour and tangy, with a fine brick dust texture, spicy and salty, but fresh and lively with it. It’s an excellent release, vigorous and zesty. Serve it cool, not cold, or you’ll lose a lot of the goodness." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
