Wines Unspecified EDDARDO EMIRIGLIO - 2024

Viniou Reviews

EDDARDO EMIRIGLIO Blanc 2024 is a dry white wine crafted in the spirit of the Rhône Valley’s expressive whites. Although the precise appellation is not specified, the style suggests a blend typically found in the region, possibly featuring grapes such as Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne, or Viognier. The 2024 vintage, being very recent, offers a wine vibrant with fresh, youthful character. Expect a luminous pale gold colour in the glass, with aromatic notes leaning towards white flowers, stone fruits like peach and apricot, and a subtle hint of citrus zest. The vinification most likely favours stainless steel to enhance primary fruit flavours, preserving the wine's crisp acidity and lively mouthfeel.

The Rhône Valley stretches from Lyon to Avignon and is renowned for its diversity of terroirs, benefitting from a Mediterranean climate—warm, dry summers and mild winters—which encourages rich fruit development and balanced ripening. The soils vary from stony galets roulés, limestone, and clay, each imparting its own nuance to the finished wine. The history of winemaking in the Rhône goes back millennia, with whites long prized for their food-friendly freshness and aromatic complexity.

This crisp, dry white pairs beautifully with the cuisine of the region, such as river fish dishes like trout with almonds, or more widely with shellfish, grilled prawns, and delicate seafood salads. Its subtly floral and stone fruit notes also make it an ideal companion for goat’s cheeses from the Drôme or Ardèche, as well as lightly spiced Mediterranean dishes—think tabbouleh or lemon roasted chicken.

For serving, EDDARDO EMIRIGLIO Blanc 2024 should be enjoyed young to preserve its freshness. Serve it well-chilled, ideally between 8–10°C. Pour into tulip-shaped glasses to concentrate the aromas and allow a few minutes in the glass for the bouquet to fully express itself. This ensures you enjoy the full vivacity and charm of this Rhône Valley white.
