This is what good wine from the Invernenga grape tastes like

Invernenga is a very rare Italian white grape. There are probably no more than two vineyards planted with Invernenga, both near Brescia in Lombardy.

In the nineteenth century, it was still one of the most widely planted grapes in the vineyards around Brescia. That's long since changed. We came across it in a wine book (yes, Jancis Robinson's grape bible). It mentions that only one Invernenga wine is still made. From the vineyard of the historic Vigneto della Pusterla castle. That can't be true, because we tasted an Invernenga from a different producer: Casa Caterina, also from Lombardy. It's quite old and quite distinctive.
