## Summary

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.
