Winemaker Notes
A specialty of Liguria, Pigato often yields bianchi with a little more heft and texture, traits embodied by Punta Crena's rendition. Zesty and faintly saline, this medium bodied beauty is begging to be opened the next time you make shrimp tacos or spaghetti alle vongole.
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
Liguria’s most extensive DOC along its northwest coast from Genoa to France, the area concentrates on the production of Vermentino (called Pigato here), Dolcetto (called Ormeasco here), Alicante and Rossese di Dolceaqua.
