Sauvignon Blanc 100%

White with green tinges.

Intense on the nose, with fruit and slightly herbal bouquet. Aroma notes of passion fruit and grapefruit are very typical in this wine and give a pleasant aroma complexity.

Dry and lively on the palate. Very enjoyable to drink cold.

Ideal to serve with spicy seafood or salads, as well as with white meats with sweet -sour sauces. You don't lose the wine even with more hot or spicy foods.  

A high-quality white wine produced for the first time during the 2006 vintage, our Monferrato Bianco was initially composed of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Sauvignon Blanc, the two most widespread white varieties in the world. But in 2006 we decided to differentiate ourselves from others, so we planted about one hectare of Viognier garpes in a cool area in the district of Casot. Luca was the first and still the only vintner to plant the French variety in Piedmont, producing the first vintage of 4,000 bottles of Viognier wine in 2008. Vinification takes place at about 65 degrees after soft pressing of the grapes. The wine is left to settle for about 12 months in stainless steel tanks where we carry out a weekly “botonage”, stirring the yeast and particles in the wine to prevent oxidation and keep fresh scents. Viognier has a good sense of body and structure with an intense aroma with high notes of exotic fruits. Perfect with fish, fresh cheeses and meats, it is actually suitable for the whole meal.
