white wine
Rapujè Langhe Bianco D.O.C.
A dream come true. For many years we wished to make a quality white wine which we could add to the great collection of our red ones. It is at once modern but still connected to the terroir. Thus we have blended the prestigious Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grapes – which we have cultivated now for many years.
