- estimate based on comparable Langhe DOC whites such as Lumiè; not currently confirmed distributed in Japan
A single-varietal white from the rare Rossese Bianco grape, bottled under Langhe DOC. Pale straw-yellow with greenish reflections, it offers lemon and yellow apple aromas with a hint of nettle, a fruity palate, refreshing acidity and medium length — produced with the same gentle, low-temperature approach as Lumiè: immediate pressing, cool fermentation, sur lie aging of about four months, and bottling in February following harvest.
Rossese Bianco is planted almost nowhere else as a standalone bottling — trying this wine is trying a piece of Langhe's ampelographic heritage that most wine drinkers will never encounter.
