Discover the grape variety: Corinto Nero
Small, intensely coloured seedless grapes, mainly destined for raisin production. More rarely vinified into confidential sweet and liqueur wines from the Aeolian Islands, with a dark colour, luscious palate and aromas of candied black fruit, raisins and spices. Grown in the Cyclades (island of Lipari) and southern Italy. A seedless mutation of the Corinth raisin, an ancient Greek black variety.

The wine region of Walla Walla Valley
Star of the American north-west straddling Washington and Oregon: signature Cabernet Sauvignon reigns in reds — structured and concentrated with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and a touch of spice, firm tannins, great ageing potential. Racy, complex Syrah (blackberry, black olive, pepper, smoked meat), supple Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese complement. Long season (200 days), hot days and cool nights, loess soils. AVA (1984) within the Columbia Valley.
The wine region of Washington
2nd US producer by volume, on the arid, sunny Columbia Valley. Star Cabernet Sauvignon (~60% of reds): powerful and structured with signature notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, dry herbs and graphite, firm tannins. Fleshy, peppery Syrah (black fruits, smoked meat). Round, fruity Merlot, historic mineral Riesling (dry and off-dry), precise Chardonnay and ample Sémillon.
The word of the wine: Ancestral method
A method of making certain sparkling wines such as blanquette de Limoux, sparkling gaillac or clairette de Die, which consists of a second fermentation in the bottle based on natural sugars and yeasts naturally brought by the grapes (unlike the méthode champenoise, which requires the addition of tirage liquor).
