The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.

Red · Light · Dry
Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

White · Light · Dry
Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.

Red · Full · Dry
Nebbiolo from a single corner of Piedmont, slow-aged into something legendary. Tar and roses, dried cherry, leather; tannins that take a decade to soften. Decant; pair with truffle, braise, or aged hard cheese.
Why it works with Poached Quail With Black Truffle Sauce
Nebbiolo with white Alba truffles is the Piedmontese ritual — tar, rose, and umami.
A specialty bottling we haven't documented in detail. Treat the first sip as research — note the body and acidity, then choose food that matches.

Dry rosé bridges poultry across preparations — grilled, roasted, sauced.

Bright Italian acid meets tomato sauce — the table-wine logic Tuscan cooks have known forever.
