White
Le Coccinelle
By Brandini, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's first white: Arneis blended with Viognier, a nod to both Piedmont and the Rhône Valley.
Tasting notes
Aroma: intense, enveloping, tropical and yellow fruit. Palate: pleasantly savoury, fresh and enveloping, with an aftertaste echoing the aromas. Colour: straw.
