Whites with many faces: mineral and taut at Chablis (lemon, green apple, flint), opulent and buttery at Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet (hazelnut, brioche, yellow fruits), tense and chalky in Champagne (Blanc de Blancs). Also vinified sparkling and widely exported (Sonoma, Margaret River, Casablanca). A Burgundian variety, a cross of Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc, half-sibling of Aligoté.
Calabrian IGT (1995) in the province of Crotone along the Neto river, sandy-clay terroirs and Ionian breezes. Gaglioppo, the native red signature, shows evolving ruby colour with cherry, crushed strawberry, garrigue, Mediterranean herbs and a spiced-pepper note, firm tannins and lively acidity. Greco Bianco as the floral-citrus white signature. Greco Nero and Magliocco in support.
