The Cinerino della Cantina Abbona is an unusual example of Viognier vinified in purity in Piedmont territory in the heart of the Langhe. The origins of the grape variety are located in the northern area of the Rhone in France where its vinification is often carried out in blend with other local grape varieties. Marziano Abbona planted the first rows of Viognier in 1991 trusting in the capacity? Of the grape variety to adapt to the continental climate of its production area with marked temperature excursions. Abbona chose the name Cinerino for this Viognier in purity to remember the large number of cinerini herons that periodically peeked out in the vineyard in question.

€ 25,00 INC. VATRipe apple and pear are accompanied on the nose by a greenhouse-like evocation of flowers and foliage that’s highly characteristic of Molitor 2018s. The midpalate is buoyant, caressingly creamy and lusciously fruity. Seed piquancy lends a welcome, stimulating modicum of counterpoint on a generously juicy, stone-kissing finish.

€ 55,00 INC. VATAs usual, Molitor’s exclusively small-barrel-raised “three-star” Pinot Blanc introduces some overt notes of oak on the nose and slight stiffening and drying to this variety’s usual engaging combination of textural creaminess with refreshment. But it still harbors plenty of interest. Musky suggestions of narcissus mingle with scents of corn shoots, lime peel and bruised apple skin. Fuller than its two ostensibly lesser counterparts but by no means heavy, this offers a cooling midpalate suggestion of mint-laced apple and lime sorbet, leading to a lingering if slightly woody finish enhanced by saliva-inducing salinity.

€ 27,00 NO VAT (private collection) The Sauvignon Quintessenz wafts up with a pretty bouquet of lemon zest and gooseberry complicated by hints of crushed stone. It’s silky and supple on the palate, with vibrant acidity motivating tart orchard fruits. This leaves a sour citrus tension and a saline mineral twang while finishing potent yet fresh.- By Eric Guido on December 2022

€ 91,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2021 Condrieu La Doriane presents apricot, white peach, pear, quince, lemon flesh and cedar elements. Honeysuckle and spring blossom add an enticing floral lift. Medium-bodied and refreshing, the 2021 offers a less ripe profile compared to both the 2019 and 2020. Instead, it showcases freshness and energy, which should appeal to readers looking for a leaner Condrieu expression. Nonetheless, it stays true to the expressive Guigal style, ending with good drive on the nuanced finale.
