    An expressive, light- to medium-bodied white, delivering juicy baked pineapple, pear glacé, pink grapefruit peel and tarragon flavors that show just a touch of brioche. Racy acidity gives this sleek wine focus, and the finish is long and minerally. Drink now through 2030.

    From 40-year-old vines on volcanic soil, a blend mainly of slightly late-harvested Garganega with Trebbiano, intended to preserve the acidity. Both are fermented in 30hl Allier oak vessels and aged for 10 months on the lees. Vibrant and mineral, it's full of lemongrass, wax, seaweed and lemon candy with peaty depth and hints of noble rot. Concentrated, acidic at first then wrapped up in a woven structure, with a youthful, biting finish: a palate that defies time. Impressive price-to-quality ratio.
