Blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Nascetta and Riesling Dragon is a unique white blend from the Langhe. Originally produced by Luigi Baudana during the 1980s with Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc, it has evolved to embrace Nascetta, an exciting heirloom variety, and a tiny amount of Riesling. Dragon was born out of two dreams: to respect and carry on the legacy of Luigi Baudana's vineyards and to offer a white wine that could be both easy and fun, and yet with a true complexity underneath. The vineyards grow on ancient soils dominated mostly by Serravallian limestones and Arenarie di Diano of Tortonian origin. Grapes are picked at optimal ripening. The fruit is carefully sorted and undergoes a whole cluster gentle pressing. Fermentations last up to twelve - fifteen days in vertical vats at low temperature. Weekly batonnage are operated for the purpose of keeping fine lees in suspension and better protect this wine from oxidation, with lower sulfur levels.
