Discover the grape variety: Bianchetta Trevigiana
Light and fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate and moderate acidity, with understated aromas of citrus, white flowers and white-fleshed fruits. Also used in discreet sparkling wines (Prosecco). Often blended with Glera, it contributes to Prosecco DOC sparkling wines and the dry local whites of the Colli Asolani. Native Italian white grape from Veneto, Treviso province — productive and historic.

The wine region of Margaret River
Australia's south-western tip between Cape Naturaliste and Leeuwin: signature Cabernet Sauvignon as red king (~33%, the "Australian Bordeaux") — structured and elegant with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, mint and a peppery touch, firm tannins. Racy mineral Chardonnay (citrus, white peach, hazelnut butter, like Burgundy). Lively Sauvignon-Sémillon in signature blend. Mediterranean climate tempered by two oceans, red laterites and limestone.
The wine region of Australie de l'Ouest
Australian premium on Margaret River. Signature Bordeaux Cabernet-Merlot blends in red: deep and refined with notes of ripe blackcurrant, eucalyptus, cedar and graphite, firm tannins and great ageing, often compared to Médoc. Chardonnay rated Australia's best: taut, saline and mineral (lemon, hazelnut, brioche). Lively Sauvignon-Sémillon (citrus, cut grass).
The word of the wine: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
