For fans of Vermentino and Sauvignon Blanc, you've got to get some of this! It might just become your new Favorita!
All jokes aside, Favorita is the grape, and it's a close relative to Vermentino. What I love about Marziano Abbona's version is that it has good body and depth, but the grape's acidity keeps things fresh, bright, and perfect for enjoying with fish and seafood.
At $14.99/bottle (no further discounts), this is a complete no-brainer!
Famed Piemonte vigneron Marziano Abbona gets a lot of much-deserved praise for his Dolcettos, and for good reason. We drank his 2020 Dolcetto for Thanksgiving this year, and it was sublime. Equally thrilling is his Favorita, a super tasty little white that has more aromatic interest than Pinot Grigio and a more rounded acidity than Sauvignon Blanc.
It's that perfect white wine that is highly aromatic on the nose and not too sharp on the palate, and it's ideal for wine lovers who have grown bored of Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. Brought up entirely in stainless steel with some aging on the lees to add complexity, this comes roaring out of the glass with scents of honeysuckle, apple, pear, and herbs leading into a vivacious and vibrant palate, finishing long with a bit of mineral.
Italy is highly underrated for its whites, but once you taste this, you'll start to tout how good they are. I guarantee it!
$14.99/bottle is the price, and there are no further discounts. We've got 10 cases up for grabs!
