Nervy, saline whites with cutting acidity and enveloping richness, showing aromas of grapefruit, lime, pear, white flowers, fresh almond, fennel and marine iodine notes. Slightly bitter finish. Star of Sardinia (Vermentino di Gallura DOCG), Liguria, coastal Tuscany (Bolgheri) and Corsica. Also in Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon as Rolle. An autochthonous Mediterranean variety.

Vermentino, Bianchetta Genovese and Albarola (≥60%) are the signature whites: lively and delicate with citrus, meadow flowers, white fruits and a saline-mineral finish. Dolcetto, Sangiovese and Ciliegiolo (≥60%) in supple reds with red fruits.
