Discover the best wines made with Johanniter as a single variety or as a blend of Sebino.
Aromatic, structured whites with a full palate and firm acidity, showing aromas of yellow fruits (peach, apricot), citrus, white flowers, honey and mineral notes reminiscent of Riesling. Refreshing. Mildew- and powdery-mildew-resistant interspecific variety, a driver of organic viticulture in northern regions: Germany (Baden), Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, UK and Denmark. German hybrid created in 1968 in Freiburg (Riesling × Seyve-Villard).
Lombardy IGT south of Lake Iseo (Brescia province, immediate neighbour of Franciacorta), glacial morainic hills, stony calcareous soils, temperate climate moderated by the lake. Chardonnay is the signature white — generous and taut with yellow apple, pear, citrus, brioche, hazelnut and mineral notes, often the base for fine sparkling wines. Lively Pinot Bianco and ethereal Pinot Nero as whites. Supple Merlot, firm Cabernet, noble Nebbiolo and vivid Barbera as varietal reds.
