Pignoletto epitomizes simplicity, crafting wines that are light, lemony, and effortlessly enjoyable. Delicate nuances of white flowers, aniseed, chamomile, and the crisp sweetness of Golden Delicious apples interplay harmoniously, accentuated by its hallmark high acidity and refined textures. Beyond its still expressions, Pignoletto’s inherent acidity lends itself to the creation of delightful sparkling wines. Moreover, when harvested at optimal ripeness, it reveals a remarkable depth, offering concentrated wines of profound complexity.
