This wine is made of 100% Favorita, which is the local name for Vermentino. It was the favorite wine of the king of Piedmont and for that, he decided to change its name in this region. This wine's great acidity will shine with lighter white fish, shellfish, or an herbal pasta dish with both those ingredients! A shrimp scampi or Linguine alla Vongole will be perfect. If you're not hungry, just go bask in the sun and let the Vermentino quench your thirst.

Details

From our Importer: Fausto and Cinzia Cellario are 3rd generation winemakers in the village of Carru` on the western outskirts of the Langhe. The family believes in only working with local, indigenous Piemontese grape varieties and fiercely defends local winemaking traditions both in the vineyard work and the cellar practices. The Cellario vineyard holdings cover some 30 ha between 5 different vineyard sites covering the southern Langhe. With holdings in Novello and Monforte, the Dogliani plot is arguably the family’s most prestigious land and I would consider them Dolcetto specialists. Vineyard work is organic (soon to be certified) and all the fermentation take place with indigenous yeasts. Sulfur is only added in tiny quantities at bottling if necessary (a practice not common with a winery in this mid-size range).

"Lafrea" Langhe Favorita

100% Favorita (Vermentino). Hand-harvested into small bins. De-stemmed, pneumatic direct press. Natural fermentation in stainless steel. Aged in stainless steel tanks on lees from winter through spring. Bottled with minimal sulphur (~10ppm) and without filtering or fining.
