This grape variety was known for a long time in the central region of Italy and is now cultivated in almost all the wine-producing regions of this country. Under the name of peverella, it can still be found in Brazil, where it has occupied large areas for a long time. In France, it is almost unknown. It would seem that it has many relatives, in particular with varieties of Italian origin, known or little known, without us being able to quote them with certainty because the doubt still remains, to be followed! The pink verdicchio exists but is not related to any of them.

The wine region of Loire Valley

The Loire Valley is a key wine region in western France. It follows the course of the Loire River on its Long journey through the heart of France, from the inland hills of the Auvergne to the plains of the French Atlantic coast near Nantes (Muscadet country). Important in terms of quantity and quality, the region produces large quantities (about 4 million h/l each year) of everyday wines, as well as some of France's greatest wines. Diversity is another of the region's major assets; the styles of wine produced here range from the light, tangy Muscadet to the Sweet, honeyed Bonnezeaux, the Sparkling whites of Vouvray and the juicy, Tannic reds of Chinon and Saumur.

The word of the wine: Fruity

A wine whose nose is first characterized by aromas reminiscent of the world of fruit. A wine to be drunk young is essentially fruity, but all wines offer this type of aroma in the first place, which can evolve over time, from the scent of fresh fruit to cooked, stewed, candied or brandied fruit.
