## Summary

A Piemonte DOC Viognier the estate grows partly because, as its home page notes, ampelographic studies show the variety's close kinship with Nebbiolo and Freisa.

## Tasting notes

Straw yellow with golden reflections. Fruity aromas of apricot, citrus and exotic fruit. Fresh and savoury on the palate, with good body.

## Food pairings

Works throughout a meal, with fish as well as white meat and vegetable dishes.
