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.
Puglian IGT in the central plateau around Minervino Murge and Bari, limestone Murge plateau, hot Mediterranean climate with cool nights. Primitivo as the signature red (historic cradle of the variety at Gioia del Colle): dense and sun-drenched with intense black cherry, plum, jammy blackberry, liquorice and sweet spice, rounded tannins and generous flesh. Full-bodied Negroamaro and firm Uva di Troia as red complements. Falanghina and Fiano as aromatic whites.
