As imported by the indefatigable Kermit Lynch, the Tintero estate, located in the steep hills around Mango, between Langhe and Monferrato, is managed by Elvio's son and daughter in-law. Culled mainly from the local Favorita (Vermentino?) with a dollop of dry Moscato blended in. A little CO2 is captured, leaving this thirst-quenching white with just a spritz of sparkle.
