I-yé
Langhe White
First vintage: 2020
I-yè is the fifth-generation son of the family; it was introduced with the desire to give something different from the local white wines.
By not doing any aging, it retains the primary scents of the grape on the nose: white flowers, citrus. In the mouth it remains very intense, rich and above all, minerality and savoriness stand out.
The challenge of planting Viognier in the hills of the area has paid off. Perfect as an aperitif, it goes well with fish, oysters and risotto. Excellent with blue-veined soft cheeses.

"In this meadow is where there was a little white donkey that always came to greet us, and when we were here he was always with us, he used to hang around here, we used to give him a little bit of grass every now and then ... in fact he became the mascot and we put him on the label."
