Christophe Blanc, Viognier 'Les Galets' Vin de France 2023 Scotto Cellars But the very different character

But the very different character of their two vineyard plots convinced them to make two cuvees

which was the name of an anise-flavoured drink that arrived to the port of Civitavecchia by ships coming from the East

Others believe that the term derives from the Latin word sambucus

with spiced black raspberry and black currant fruit and accents of green olive
