Fresh and lively dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with preserved acidity, showing understated aromas of citrus, white flowers and Apennine herbaceous notes. Discreet profile best drunk young. Often blended with verdicchio or trebbiano in Marche whites, contributing to the typicity of Marchigian whites without dominating the terroir. Native white Italian grape from the Marche region, grown on small surfaces in the Apennines.

The wine region of Cahors
Historic cradle of Malbec, the "black wine" of South-West France: signature Côt (≥70%) reigns in reds — dark-hued with black fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry), plum, violet and a liquorice touch, cedar and cocoa on ageing, structured tannins and great cellaring aptitude. Supple Merlot softens, dense Tannat optional. AOC (1971), ~4,000 ha across three alluvial terraces of the Lot and limestone causses, Aquitaine-southern climate, ageing 8-15 years.
The wine region of South West
French mosaic of strong identities south of Bordeaux. Cahors and its Malbec ("black wine"): deep reds with notes of blackberry, plum, violet, tobacco and cocoa, firm tannins. Madiran and its dense, age-worthy Tannat. Jurançon whites: golden sweet (apricot, honey, pineapple) and lively dry from Petit Manseng.
The word of the wine: Short
Said of a wine that leaves little trace in the mouth after tasting (also called "short in the mouth").
