Discover the grape variety: Blanqueiron
Simple fresh whites with low aromatics, pale golden robe, supple palate with moderate acidity, discreet aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic South-West profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE ampelographic collections for its heritage value, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic heritage of the South-West. Rare French white grape, once cultivated in the South-West.

The wine region of Coste della Sesia
DOC of northeastern Piedmont (Alto Piemonte) along the Sesia river (Vercelli, Biella), glacial moraine soils, cooler alpine climate than the Langhe. Nebbiolo is the signature red king ('Spanna' locally): slender and airy with red cherry, raspberry, faded rose, undergrowth, alpine herbs and a mineral touch, fine tannins and high acidity — accessible alternative to Lessona, Bramaterra and Boca. Spiced Vespolina, rounded Croatina and Uva Rara in blends. Lively Erbaluce as white.
The wine region of Piedmont
Kingdom of Nebbiolo: Barolo and Barbaresco DOCG, long-ageing reds with firm tannins and lively acidity, complex aromas of withered rose, sour cherry, tar, truffle and undergrowth. More accessible, tangy Barbera on red fruit, supple, crisp Dolcetto. Sweet, floral sparkling Moscato d'Asti, mineral, lemony Gavi (Cortese) white, round, almondy Arneis from Roero. 50,000 ha across the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, UNESCO.
The word of the wine: Musty (taste of)
A disgusting taste due to a defect in the grapes or, more commonly, a defect in the barrel.
