  Pigato is a white Italian wine grape planted primarily in Liguria. As a varietal, Pigato produces highly aromatic wines.
  
  Made with 100% Pigato grapes vinified in stainless steel tanks, aged on its lees for 4 months than further refining for 2 months before bottling, this wine presents a clean, clear, pale yellow color with light golden reflects. The complex and attractive nose is fresh, fragrant, floral, mineral and zesty, with citrus peel, blossom, mint and freshly cut hay, nutty and herbal notes. It also boasts inciting notes of Mediterranean wild bush, beach "maquis", "pignon de pin" and "pin des Landes". The palate is soft, generous, well rounded, with golden apple flavors, ripe peach and spices. As it expands in the mid-palate, it offers a lot of glycerine and viscosity, oily texture coating the entire palate with generous and balanced ripe yellow fruit flavors and herbaceous, fresh almond notes. Ample and rich yet with enough acidity to keep it balanced and fresh, the finish is long, mineral and Terroir driven with slight briny hints. Lovely wine for amateurs and connoisseurs, and in general for people that really appreciate and understand wine. Definitely food oriented, pair it with well seasoned Mediterranean dishes: North African Tajin, Chicken or poultry baked with white wine, saffron and Provencal herbs.
