Discover the grape variety: Carcajolo Bianco
Fresh, simple dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate and preserved acidity. Understated aromas of citrus, white flowers and Mediterranean iodine notes. Rustic, airy profile, best drunk young. A precious witness of Corsica's insular ampelographic heritage, often blended in local whites and subject to conservation plantings under the CRVI. White mutation of Carcajolo Noir, a rare Corsican grape grown in Corse-du-Sud.

The wine region of Asti
Italian capital of sweet, aromatic sparklers. Signature Asti DOCG: light, muscat-scented sparklers from Moscato Bianco with signature notes of fresh grape, peach, apricot, orange blossom and sage, opulent yet balanced sweetness, low alcohol (~7%) — a dessert treat. Moscato d'Asti a more delicate, slightly fizzy (frizzante) version. Also lively, fruity Barbera reds, peppery Grignolino and sweet, musky Brachetto d'Acqui.
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: Pinot meunier
Cultivated in the 19th century in all the northern vineyards, this black grape variety has largely regressed since. Very present in the Marne valley, it constitutes a third of the vineyards in Champagne, alongside pinot noir and chardonnay with which it is often blended. It brings roundness and red and yellow fruit aromas to champagnes. Pinot meunier is also the dominant grape variety in red and rosé wines in the Orleans AOC and the rare Touraine-Noble-Joué, a grey wine. Syn.: meunier.
