It might come as a surprise, but Italy produces more white (60%) than red wine, led by the regions of Veneto, Puglia, Emilia-Romagna, and Sicily. The most common varieties are Trebbiano, which largely, but by no means exclusively, goes into inexpensive bottles for the local market; Pinot Grigio, the most exported white variety; and, semisurprisingly,. (I’m leaving aside Glera, the grape of
; that’s a different story.)But for me, the true joy lies in Italy’s less well-known, native varieties. Coastal Vermentinos from Liguria and Sardinia with their citrus-zest snap; Etna whites, which suggest their volcanic origins in a kind of stony intensity; bright, faintly almondy Verdicchios from Marche — all of these wake you up with zippy acidity and little to no oak influence, and they tend to be appealingly affordable as well.Fill a cooler with ice and bottles, invite over some friends, and save those brooding Amarones until December, when the wintry winds start whipping by once again. Here are 21 refreshing Italian white wines to seek out right now.
The Tasca d’Almerita family’s Regaleali estate in the center of Sicily is a do-not-miss visit, and this tingly, grapefruity white made from Cataratto comes from the vineyards surrounding the beautiful manor house there.Argiolas is arguably Sardinia’s most well-known producer and is certainly one of its best. This crisp, balanced Vermentino channels the island’s coastal warmth into inviting pineapple and lemon-zest flavors.
Cantina Mesa, in Sardinia’s coastal Sulcis region, farms with only organic fertilizers and no insecticides or herbicides. Maybe that explains the purity of flavor in this energetic Vermentino, with its lime and white-peach flavors.
Fabio Sireci and Melissa Muller’s organic Sicilian estate is a magical place. They make excellent wines — like this blood orange–flavored, luscious Catarratto — as well as dried pastas, olive oil, and much more.“In Ms. Kingdom’s case, there is no indication at all that the BOP means to leave her hormone therapy in place long-term; indeed, as noted above, she was informed by BOP personnel that the decision to resume her treatment was a consequence of this litigation itself, raising the specter that her treatments might be discontinued as soon as the litigation has concluded,” Lamberth wrote.
Trump’s order also directed the Bureau of Prisons to ensure that “males are not detained in women’s prisons.” In February, however, Lamberth agreed to temporarily block prison officials from transferring three incarcerated transgender women to men’s facilities and terminating their access to hormone therapy.The judge said there's no evidence Trump or prison officials considered the harm the new polices could do to transgender inmates.
“The defendants argue that the plaintiffs have not alleged irreparable harm because they are all currently receiving hormone medications. But it suffices to say that all three plaintiffs’ access to hormone therapy is, as best the Court can tell, tenuous,” Lamberth wrote.The plaintiffs are represented by attorneys from the Transgender Law Center and the American Civil Liberties Union.
