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.
New York AVA on Long Island, maritime climate moderated by the Atlantic, well-drained sandy soils and moraines. Only New York region focused on vinifera (warm enough for Bordeaux varieties). Merlot signature red king (~30%): supple and elegant with plum, red cherry, blackberry, herbs and iodine touch, fine tannins and fresh palate — cool-climate finesse. Peppery Cabernet Franc (bell pepper, raspberry), firm Cabernet Sauvignon.
