White
Sperilium
By De Alessi (Tenuta San Sebastiano), Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
A Viognier from a 1 ha plot planted in 2013 facing west, half fermented and aged in barriques.
Tasting notes
Brilliant yellow. Fruity and slightly aromatic, with pleasant memories of white flowers and pear. Dry, well balanced and elegant, with a pleasant retronasal return.
Pairs well with
Aperitifs, fish starters, delicate first courses, fish dishes in general, or simply for sipping.
