Chloris

By Abbona, Dogliani, Piemonte, Italy

Abbona Chloris

Chloris sets out to show what the Langhe's soils can do with Riesling: a wine of strong varietal character on the nose and good minerality on the palate, named for the sparrow on its label, again the work of artist Gianni Gallo.

Tasting notes

Straw yellow with greenish reflections; intense fruity aromas of grapefruit and apricot with a light vegetal note in its youth. On the palate, pleasant freshness and sapidity unfold into rich, persistent fruit notes.
