Civello, White Wine

Sexier than Pinot Grigio, Naughtier than a Chardonnay

California



Start with the Pinot Gris from Monterey. Spanish grape Verdhelo which we get from the warmer Clarksburg area, add a splash of the German/Alsatian grape Gewürztraminer which we get from California’s coolest counties. Occasionally we add a little Dijon clone Chardonnay from Carneros. Sometimes we even add a little Muscato Fruliano or Albarino.

Citrus, apricots then bliss...
Finish is dry!
