White

Scarpantà

By Hilberg Pasquero, Roero, Piemonte, Italy

Hilberg Pasquero Scarpantà

A single-variety Timorasso from a partner grower's vineyard in the Colli Tortonesi, fermented in steel and matured with batonnage in rotating ceramic (Clayver) tanks.

Tasting notes

A white born from friendship, rooted in Piedmont but inspired by France and the restraint of great German whites; balance through restraint rather than excess.

Pairs well with

Seafood and white meat.
