Description

Solare is a blend of Viognier and Trebbiano grapes. Viognoer is a white grape native of the Rhone Valley in France. It adapts well to hot climates, it is resistant to dryness but it is very susceptible to the winds and it is not easy to grow because of its unpredictability and uncertainty.

I am fond of this variety that produces unparalleled grapes, if well managed. It is capable of evolving into a unique wine with intense and persistent taste, so I decided to implant it in my company Luggiano. After evaluating the feasibility of my idea with Dr. Roberto Tarzarol, I selected the most suitable land to plant the Viognier, considering exposure and soil.
