Varietal Composition: The dominant grape in our Cristallo blend is the Georgian Rkatsiteli, widely planted in eastern Europe. A high-acid grape of very high quality, its wines are seldom exported. We combine it ( at about 70-90%) with Pinot Blanc, Pinot Grigio and Melon de Bourgogne. Melon is the sole variety in the Loire wine known as Muscadet, sometimes referred to as the quintessential “oyster wine”.

Fiano, a native of deep south region Campania, is one of maybe 3-4 top white varietals to make memorable wines according to Italian wine critics. Our Fiano is blended with around 10% Falanghina, a very similar style of wine. Nuanced with a minerally finish.
