Favorita
Favorita, the Piedmontese cousin of Vermentino, is a delicate white with crisp acidity and bright orchard fruit flavors. Pear, white peach, and a hint of almond define its character, often with a subtle herbal undertone. Once favored as an everyday wine for the region’s locals, its popularity has waned in favor of more structured whites. However, in the right hands, Favorita can offer a beautifully fresh, lively drinking experience, particularly in coastal-influenced terroirs. A hidden gem for lovers of elegant, unpretentious whites.
