Sémillon
Sémillon is a French white grape variety. It is native to the Bordeaux area but is more generally widespread throughout the south-western region of France. It is a generous variety, which produces cylindrical clusters of medium size, with round berries, which when fully ripe take on a golden yellow color, with the surface presence of abundant bloom. It is grown mainly in the Bordeaux area to produce sweet wines and some dry white wines. The areas in which it is most widespread are, in fact, those of the famous appellations of Sauternes et Barsac, but it is also present in Pessac-Léognan, in the Graves area, in Bergerac and Monbazillac. It is hardly vinified in purity, it is almost always used together with sauvignon blanc. The wine has a rich profile, with aromas of white flowers, intense fruity aromas of pineapple, exotic fruit and hints of dried fruit. With aging, the bouquet is enriched with notes of spices, pepper and candied fruit. In Italy it is little cultivated and in the rest of the world it is present mainly in Australia, New Zealand, California, Chile, Argentina and South Africa.
