Discover the grape variety: Genouillet
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, supple palate and preserved acidity, showing understated aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon) and herbaceous notes. Rustic profile now almost gone from commercial cultivation. Preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of France. Rare French white variety, formerly grown in central France, studied for its heritage interest.

The wine region of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore
Historic, top-quality core of Prosecco DOCG on the Venetian hills (50-500 m, UNESCO landscape): signature Glera dominant as king white (≥85%, formerly "Prosecco") — fine, aromatic sparklers with green apple, pear, white acacia flowers, citrus and a slightly bitter finish. Chardonnay and Pinots as backup (≤15%, local Verdiso and Perera possible). Charmat method in autoclaves, from Brut to Dry, Rive mention for specific slopes, Cartizze grand cru.
The wine region of Veneto
World star of Prosecco: fresh, light Glera sparklers with notes of pear, green apple and white flowers, fruity, convivial bubbles. Veronese reds from Corvina and Rondinella: light, crisp Bardolino, fruity Valpolicella, opulent, concentrated Amarone DOCG (black cherry, chocolate, raisin) from dried grapes. Mineral, almondy Soave (Garganega) whites, fresh Pinot Grigio. 97,500 ha, Italy's largest production.
The word of the wine: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
