Winemaker Notes

Favorita vine is one of the few typical white grapes from Piemonte. It is very similar to Vermentino grape. Once Favorita was considered a table grape. Then, in the ‘80s some wineries started to make wine from it, with good results. Wine drinkable when young but also with a good structure, as the vines grow in a solid soil suitable for great Nebbiolo for Barbaresco: complexity and persistency are granted. the warm bright yellow shade is index of full ripeness. Primary aromas are strong and little aromatic. It follows olfactory sensations due to the yeasts lysis and ethereal ones as a consequence of the malolactic fermentation. In the mouth the wine has an interesting acidity and elegance that we find again in the aftertaste. The delicate fullness helps to spread the range of feelings and increasing the persistency.
