Rapalino Langhe Favorita

Still white from Favorita grown at Alba, Camo and Neviglie, aged 6 months on the lees in steel. Marco calls it the first white he vinified and a typical white of the local hills, mostly drunk locally.

Tasting notes

Greenish yellow, crystal clear, with herbaceous and surprisingly mineral scents. Good freshness, savouriness, balance and aromatic persistence on the palate.

Pairs well with

Excellent with fish dishes, soups and broths.
