The 2025 Luigi Baudana White Dragon is an expressive Italian white wine from the Langhe region of Piedmont, produced by Luigi Baudana under the stewardship of the Vajra family. This distinctive white blend brings together aromatic freshness and the elegance of northern Italian winemaking. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe pear, white peach, green apple and lemon zest, complemented by delicate notes of white flowers, fresh herbs and subtle mineral complexity.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium-bodied with refreshing acidity and a smooth, finely textured mouthfeel. Flavours of juicy pear, yellow apple, white nectarine and grapefruit unfold alongside hints of citrus blossom, almond and gentle savoury spice. Its generous orchard-fruit character is balanced by bright citrus freshness, creating a harmonious white wine with elegance and depth. The finish is dry and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of stone fruit, lemon peel and delicate mineral notes.
