Also known as Vermentu (Corsica), Rolle (Provence), Pigato (Liguria) and Favorita (Piemonte) this is a pan-Tyrrhenian grape variety, one most closely identified with Sardegna and Toscana. It fits a niche somewhere between Pinot grigo and Sauvignon blanc by possessing many of their attributes but having none of either's limitations.
It is aromatic, fruity and expressive, yet lighter with an easy-going and approachable expression, making it versatile and food friendly.
