chenin blanc

Chenin Blanc possesses the rare gift of uniting vibrant acidity with a deep, textured weight. Its home in the Loire Valley shapes the profile of this grape variety, which speaks of ripe quince, beeswax and wet chalk in the glass. This enormous stylistic range extends from fine sparkling wine to dense, long-lived still wine. In the sparkling category, the Crémants from Liv Vincendeau shine, combining a lively freshness with delicate yeasty spice. On the chalky soils of Saumur, on the other hand, the variety unfolds its salty, almost monumental minerality at Guiberteau.

That Chenin Blanc also fascinates far beyond its homeland is proven by I Vigneri di Salvo Foti in Sicily: in the Primavera Vino Bianco, it enters into an unusual alliance with Pinot Blanc and Savagnin, revealing a completely new, wonderfully alpine facet.
