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.
IGT of Valtellina (Alpine Lombardy, renamed Alpi Retiche in 2017), heroic vineyards on terraces on the steep slopes of the Rhaetian Alps. Chiavennasca signature red king (local name for Nebbiolo, >=85%): aerial and taut with red cherry, raspberry, faded rose, undergrowth, alpine spices and mineral touch, fine tannins and high acidity — softer alternative to Valtellina Superiore DOCG. Pignola and Rossola indigenous as complement. Alpine Nebbiolo.
