## Summary

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.

## Food pairings

Excellent with fish dishes, soups and broths.
