Modestu Bianco is a 2022 white wine from Sardinia, Italy, made from Moscato. Giovanni Montisci makes it as a fleshy, dry white. Like all of his wines, it is fermented spontaneously, aged in neutral wood, and bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal SO2.
Giovanni Montisci farms just two hectares of vines in Mamoiada, in the mountainous interior of Sardinia. He was a mechanic before turning to the small vineyard plots inherited from his wife's family, and he bottled his first wine from the 2004 vintage. His old, organically farmed, alberello-trained vines grow at up to 650 meters, where cool nights allow slow ripening and preserve acidity. His wines carry labels inspired by Quintarelli, and his Cannonau bottlings have earned him a cult-like following.
