What people are saying about Porticina
Amy
Nice light, crisp white
Nothing buttery or oaky, just a nice clean wine. Perfect for so many spring and summer evenings.
Julie
The perfect white!
I was so excited for this new Italian white to be released! Porticina is my new summer white, so light, crisp and refreshing! I can’t wait to pair it with sitting on the deck on a hot summer night. I highly recommend this one to try!
Elanyna
Perfection!
I have been impatiently waiting to try Porticina Malvasia since we first learned about it at Harvest! Eager to celebrate my Italian heritage, wines excite me. Porticina is perfection! It pairs wonderfully with all of our favorite Italian dishes. On St. Joseph’s Day I paired it with a Shrimp and Broccoli Pasta with Truffle Parmesan Cream Sauce…instantly my family and I were transported to Italy with one sip. It also paired perfectly with my Nana’s zeppole for dessert! Thanks for another great wine, Traveling Vineyard!

Weeknight Surprise!
Long day, grabbed dinner on the way home and grabbed Porticina from the wine fridge. Yum, from the first sip! Light but flavorful a really nice sipper. Paired great with my chicken burrito bowl. I may have had the whole bottle ?? I can’t wait to try it with other food like spring salads, deli sandwiches, light pasta dishes, sushi.

The first time I had this wine was valentines day. Date night in with lobster and porticina and it was absolutely amazing. Since then, I've had it with many of the other options and I absolutely love it. I highly recommend to anybody but especially those newer to drinking wines.

Highly recommend
I tried for the first time last night on its own and it was delicious. Very smooth wine. I cannot wait to buy more and try it with some grilled salmon and pad Thai.

Delish!
I absolutely love this wine! It reminds me of sitting outside on a summer day, sipping with my friends and making memories. It is delicious with "everything but the bagel" hummus and plain crackers. YUM!
