Gianni Gagliardo Fallegro – Langhe Favorita – White – 2023:

 

The Piedmontese White Star: Fallegro Langhe Favorita

The Fallegro Langhe Favorita Bianco from Gianni Gagliardo is a celebrated expression of Piedmont’s often-overlooked white wine potential. As one of the first producers to champion the native Favorita grape (a local clone of Vermentino), Gianni Gagliardo created a wine that beautifully balances the region’s rich viticultural history with a vibrant, modern profile. This is a must-try for enthusiasts of crisp, aromatic Italian whites.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Bright straw yellow with subtle greenish glints.
• Nose: An intense and inviting bouquet of ripe stone fruit-think white peach and apricot-complemented by exotic fruit nuances and a delicate floral lift of linden blossom.
• Palate: Dry, fresh, and remarkably graceful. It offers a lively, balanced acidity that cuts through a creamy, rounded texture. The finish is persistent, clean, and concludes with a refreshing, characteristic hint of almond.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Best served well-chilled (46-50°F), this wine is perfect as a sophisticated aperitif or alongside delicate dishes. Its freshness makes it incredibly versatile.

• Pairings: Shrimp Scampi, light clam or mussel pasta, grilled chicken with lemon, fresh Caprese salad, or soft, fresh cheeses.
