White
Viridis
By G. B. Burlotto, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Steel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc from Verduno, kept on its fine lees and bottled the spring after harvest.
Tasting notes
The noble Sauvignon vine distills the salt and soul of the sea from the land of Langa, the fragrant trace of herbs and wildflowers, the fresh juice of sour fruits. A white that evokes all that is green, fascinates and surprises, and quenches one's thirst.
