Deep in Barolo country, in a vineyard known for bold reds, lives a white wine with a friendly secret.
The Dragon of Cerretta
Dragon is a field blend from the legendary Cerretta vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba. Here, among the powerful Nebbiolo vines, something different grows: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Nascetta, and a touch of Riesling. They are all planted, picked, and fermented together into one charming white.
The 2023 vintage opens with a joyful rush of white peach, green melon, and alpine herbs. The texture is crisp and clean, with a bright, citrusy finish that demands another pour. The name comes from a local legend of a kind dragon who guarded the vineyards. Made with care by the G.D. Vajra family, Dragon is a little slice of Piedmont magic.
How to Enjoy
This is the ultimate easy-drinking, crowd-pleasing white. Keep it chilled and let it become your new house white, perfect for casual sipping or with light appetizers.
