Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, dry
Monterustico is Vajra's easy-drinking Langhe white, blending the almondy, floral roundness of Arneis with the zesty, herbal lift of Sauvignon Blanc. It's crisp and dry with fresh orchard fruit and a light savory edge, made for everyday drinking rather than long aging. A reliable, food-friendly bottle that overdelivers for its price point.
Serving: Serve at 9–11 °C.
