The most famous types of white wines

Depending on where it comes from, it is adorned with classic fruit aromas of melon, apple or grapefruit (cold belt) or aromas of peach, mango and pineapple (southern belt). It thrives better on poorer soils, but can adapt to other soil types.
In terms of quality, it can go from mild to extremely serious taste.
