Bianco di Gio is an aromatic white wine from Famiglia Cielo's 1908 Signature Collection, created as a tribute to founder Giovanni Cielo, who created wines "alla moda di Venezia." Within this super-premium line, this is the house's most expressive white wine, with a striking balance of freshness, ripe fruit, and a refined, almost Mediterranean aroma. What makes Bianco di Gio so special? It's an iconic Italian blend that's both light and full-bodied, making it an impressive pairing for both summer drinks and dinner.
Cielo 1908 Bianco di Gio comes from Italy and bears the Bianco d'Italia appellation, giving the Cielo family the freedom to combine different regions. The Sauvignon Blanc comes from the north, from Veneto around Venice, where the cooler climate produces fresh acidity and pronounced aromatic precision. The Chardonnay comes from the warmer south of Italy, Puglia, where the grapes develop more richness, roundness, and sunny yellow fruit. Together, these origins form a "master white blend" within the 1908 Super Premium wines, in which the Cielo family has been demonstrating its experience and craftsmanship since 1908 in a recognizable, modern Italian style.
For Bianco di Gio, Famiglia Cielo selects the finest batches of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay that fulfill the vision of a powerful yet refined aromatic white wine. The grapes from Veneto and Puglia are vinified separately and then carefully blended into a single cuvée with the distinct signature of the house. The focus is on preserving the expressive fruit and floral notes, with a lively acidity that gives the wine tension and freshness. Bianco di Gio is meant to be enjoyed young and vital and is recommended between one and three years after the harvest to fully develop its aromatic intensity and fresh, juicy structure.
Sauvignon Blanc – Veneto
Sauvignon Blanc from northern Italy brings the aromatic lift, with notes of citrus, spiciness and fresh acidity that give the wine tension and energy.
Chardonnay – Puglia
Chardonnay from sunny Puglia adds ripe peach, yellow fruit and a fuller, rounder structure, giving Bianco di Gio a generous, mouth-filling style without losing its freshness.
