Tucked away in the uppermost vineyards of Podere Còncori—specifically Selvapiana and Prete, an ancient plot once belonging to the church of nearby Fiattone—comes a biodynamic white wine that speaks fluently of its land. Podere Còncori Bianco is not just a wine, but a faithful expression of the Tuscan Apennines, drawing parallels to the elegance and precision of Loire Valley whites.
The wine originates from two small, high-altitude vineyards that benefit from constant Apennine breezes and a unique soil composition of sand and schist. These natural conditions, combined with biodynamic farming and old vines of Pinot Blanc and Chenin Blanc, result in a wine that is both fascinating and austere — a rare balance between rustic soul and refined structure.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, Podere Còncori Bianco shines with a brilliant straw yellow color laced with greenish reflections, hinting at its youthful energy and freshness. On the nose, it reveals aromas of fruit not yet fully ripe — green apple, white peach, perhaps a touch of pear — alongside delicate wild white flowers. There’s an aromatic lift of mountain herbs and wet stone, grounding the wine firmly in its alpine context. The palate is both vibrant and structured. Crisp acidity leads the way, balanced by a subtle fruit core and a solid, almost architectural backbone. The mouthfeel is elegant but firm, making it a white that invites both contemplation and casual enjoyment.
Food Pairings
This wine’s tension and freshness make it a versatile companion on the table. It shines with:
- 🐟 Fish or vegetable risottos
- 🍝 Delicate pastas with seasonal herbs or white sauces
- 🍗 White meats, lightly grilled or roasted

Podere Còncori Bianco is more than a biodynamic white — it’s a wine that speaks softly of nature, simplicity, and the beauty of authentic things. Easy to enjoy and naturally versatile, it pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes or can be simply sipped outdoors, surrounded by greenery. It invites you to slow down, breathe, and savor the quiet elegance of the land it comes from.
