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 part of Emilia-Romagna on the Adriatic. Sangiovese signature in red: Romagnola version more supple and fruity than in Tuscany, with signature notes of red cherry, raspberry, plum, violet, Mediterranean herbs and a spicy touch, fine tannins and gourmand palate — sublimated in DOCG Sangiovese Superiore. Albana as star white (Italy's 1st white DOCG) ample (pear, honey). Straight Trebbiano, floral Pagadebit, sweet Cagnina.
