Channing Daughters Vino Bianco is a beautiful testament to the maritime terroir of Bridgehampton on Long Island's South Fork, heavily inspired by the field blends of Friuli and northeastern Italy. Winemaker Christopher Tracy crafts this white blend to capture the breezy, coastal energy of the estate's glacial silt loam soils. By artfully blending multiple white grape varieties, the winery creates a layered, aromatic, and textured wine that reflects the unique climate shaped by the Atlantic Ocean and Peconic Bay. The vinification typically employs a mix of stainless steel and neutral French oak barrels, allowing the bright fruit and saline minerality to shine alongside a subtle, creamy complexity born from lees contact.
