The 2000 is one of the finest examples of this varietal indigenous to Piedmont. Tank-fermented and aged, it is extremely fresh, with notes of lemon zest, grapefruit, pears, and apples. Light to medium-bodied and refreshing, it is a perfect foil for complex, spicy cuisine. Drink it over the next year.
