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 Molise (central-southern Italy, Campobasso province), Mediterranean-Apennine climate, varied hill soils, name of prehistoric Oscan peoples. Signature Tintilia as rare native red king (~111 ha worldwide, 97% in Molise): intense and spiced with blackberry, black cherry, plum, herbs, pepper and licorice touch, firm tannins and freshness — recovered Molisian identity. Supple Montepulciano and firm Aglianico as complements. Floral Falanghina and fresh Trebbiano in whites.
