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.
DOC of Emilia-Romagna on the hills south of Parma between Enza and Stirone. Malvasia di Candia Aromatica is the signature frizzante white king: fragrant and taut with white flowers (rose, jasmine), citrus, white peach, herbs and a muscat touch, fresh perlant — the king pairing for Prosciutto di Parma. Lambrusco Maestri as a fruity sparkling red (cherry, raspberry, violet). Cabernet, Merlot, Barbera and Bonarda as still reds.
