The "Chablis of Piedmont" – Razor-Sharp Calcareous Precision

📋 Technical Snapshot

🍷 Tasting Profile (2025 Vintage Perspective)

The 2025 vintage arrives showing exceptional focus, luminous straw-yellow color with delicate greenish highlights, and a signature lean, vertical structure.

• The Nose: Fresh, Elegant, and Stony. It opens with a pristine bouquet of green apple, crunchy pear, and lemon verbena. As the wine warms slightly in the glass, it reveals a profound chalky, wet-stone minerality, accompanied by a faint hint of white blossoms and raw almond.

• The Palate: Crisp and Laser-Focused. Completely dry on the entry, driven by an electric, vibrating acidity. The brief lees contact gives it just enough textural flesh to balance the intense mineral tension. Expect clean flavors of lime zest, green orchard fruit, and a sleek, light-to-medium body.

• The Finish: Remarkably clean and saline. It leaves a refreshing, mouth-watering snap on the back-palate with a characteristic, pleasantly bitter almond twist.

🍽️ Gastronomy & Service

• Serving Temperature: 10°C–12°C. Avoid serving it ice-cold to ensure the chalky, flinty aromatics aren't locked away by the temperature.

• The Seafood Match: The ultimate pairing. Its bright acidity and salt-kissed finish cut beautifully through the fats of Raw Shellfish, Scallop Carpaccio, or premium Sushi and Sashimi.

• The Classical Twist: Pairs brilliantly with traditional Italian plates like Puntarelle alla Romana (with its intense anchovy dressing) or Pasta with swordfish, pine nuts, and wild herbs.

• Local Nordic Match: An outstanding glass alongside Pan-seared Whitefish (Siika) or lightly salted trout served with spring primals.
