Pigato 'MaRenè' Bio Vio 2023

Bio Vio's Pigato 'MaRené' is a harmonious, fresh, savoury and fruity white wine that perfectly expresses the best characteristics of the PIgato grape. In the area of the first hinterland of Albenga, this historic white grape variety has found marvellous sunny exposures, a mild and always breezy climate and the gentle breath of sea breezes, which allow it to reach full ripeness with rich and intense aromas. It is a white of great balance, bringing ripe fruit, the nuances of Mediterranean herbs and the saline character of the sea into the glass. It is the perfect wine to pair with the typical dishes of the area's cuisine.
