Description
The grapes used to make "Il Favot" come from vineyards which have undergone periodical implantations and so have a maximum age of 15 years. The skin contact is limited to 6-8 days so to extract few tannins and more color from the skins themselves, with the result of getting a well-colored wine with a remarkable softness.
James Suckling
Mineral and savory nose with lots of crushed stones, iron, seaweed, spiced blood orange and cranberries. Structured and vertical on the palate but nothing fleshy here. It shows more mineral tension and tautness than fruit. A pure, long Nebbiolo Langhe that gives clarity and precision. Already very drinkable now, but can hold as well.
Wine Spectator
This harmonious red is really singing today, with a beautiful expression of cherry, strawberry and rose aromas and flavors. Firmly built, offering licorice and spice notes that add depth, with a terrific aftertaste. Drink now through 2028. 1,620 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.
