White
Vigna Misobolo
By Cieck, Canavese, Piemonte, Italy
Vigna Misobolo is Cieck's single-vineyard Erbaluce, from a historic plot on the hill of San Giorgio over 50 years old, first planted with white grapes alone by founder Remo Falconieri in the 1970s while he was the town's mayor.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow with greenish highlights; fragrant bouquet of pear and hawthorn with a lingering mineral sensation; structured, powerful palate with good body and acidity, and a savoury finish
Pairs well with
Fish, thanks to its crisp, dry character, and also good with vegetables and mild cheeses
