I Favati "Terrantica" Etichetta Bianca Greco di Tufo 2013

This wine is made from the Greco grape from the area of Tufo—again a wine and grape that is inextricably linked to the local area it comes from. In a world where Burgundy dominates aged whites, this gem from the Apennine hillside of Campania will find its way into the hands of only a few lucky drinkers. Bouquet of honey and flowers. Full bodied, almost creamy in the mouth with excellent acidity. You’ll find us at Cittavino & Co. huddled in the corner, hoarding and savoring every sip as the festivities pass us by.

A wonderful introduction to the high end whites of Italy.

I Favati is practicing organic and take a minimal intervention approach to making their wines. No additives save for a small does of sulfur at bottling, makes it an unassuming natural wine.
