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.
Second smallest region of Italy between Abruzzo and Apulia on the Adriatic. Signature Tintilia as red king (native saved in the 1990s): dense and deep with notes of black mulberry, candied cherry, plum, garrigue, leather and spices, firm tannins and fleshy palate — the rediscovered pride of Molise. Supple Montepulciano (cherry, plum, liquorice), firm and structured Aglianico. Lively Trebbiano whites (citrus, flowers).
