This is not a traditional blend where each grape is vinified separately and combined later. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Nascetta, and Riesling are harvested together and then processed collectively. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are gently pressed as whole bunches, with minimal skin contact. This is followed by a slow fermentation at a low temperature. The wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation, ensuring the natural freshness and tension are preserved. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dragon is thus a fine example of the idiosyncratic style of Luigi Baudana: a white wine from Serralunga d’Alba, an area naturally most famous for its Nebbiolo and Barolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover more wines from this \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/vajra\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003ewinery G.D.
