Viognier
Viogner is a French white grape variety originating from the Rhône region. The DNA analyzes showed a close relationship with the mondeuse blanche, in turn one of the parents of the grape syrah. Even in the absence of a precise genealogical tree, we can therefore affirm a relationship between the two great varieties typical of the Rhone Valley.
It is a grape that has experienced mixed fortunes and even risked disappearing completely. In the 1960s there were only a few tens of hectares of vineyards left in France and it is only thanks to the work of some passionate vigneron that it has begun to be cultivated again, especially in Condrieu. Today, as well as in the Rhone Valley it is present in Languedoc-Roussillon, in the United States, Australia and in other countries of the New World. In Italy it is cultivated with good results in Lazio, Tuscany and Sicily.
The wine has a light yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose the ripe aromas of peach and apricot prevail. The sip is broad, rich and fruity, with a rather high alcohol content and moderate acidity.
