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.
Eastern Emilia-Romagna on the Adriatic, clay-limestone hills and plains, Etruscan and Roman vineyard. Albana the white signature (indigenous, first Italian white promoted to DOCG in 1987): golden and structured with yellow apple, apricot, candied citrus, flowers, honey and an unusual tannic touch for a white — dry, passito or semi-dry. Sangiovese di Romagna firm red (cherry, plum, herbs), sweet and fruity Cagnina, dense Burson. Fresh Trebbiano.
