White
Trés Plus
By Orlando Abrigo, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's most French-influenced wine, a nod to the family's ties across the nearby border and to Louis Odard, the first winemaker to work in the Langa since the 1800s.
Tasting notes
Intense yellow colour with mineral, complex aromas; fresh, broad and enveloping on the palate, improving with time in bottle.
