White
Foréstè
By Giovanni Sordo, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Viognier named for the Piedmontese word for 'foreigner'; first made in 2024.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow with greenish highlights. Fresh floral notes of white flowers, jasmine and orange blossom with subtle vegetal nuances. Enveloping and well structured on the palate, with balanced freshness and a pleasant creaminess; acidity and sapidity in balance.
