2023 Giachino Monfarina

This white wine from the Savoie region is a serious expression of Jacquère, Verdesse, and Mondeuse Blanche grown in unique limestone-clay terroir born from the ancient Mt. Granier landslide. Crafted as an organic biodynamic wine in an Alpine wonderland, it showcases the minerality and acidity characteristic of this high-altitude region. The wine features great texture with subtle herbal qualities and an alpine steely core, delivering a signature of effortless wholesomeness coupled with a sense of crunchy terroir.
