By far my favorite Valpolicella. See previous reviews. The downside is it used to be affordable easy. Now it’s close to $60 a btl.
Earth, smoke, forest,Black tea,tarry yet light ( ish). As far as i remember, made from leased vines 500 M above lake Garda.At least the first vintage. Aged in 2nd pass Amarone Botti.All in all, a highly idiosyncratic winemaker with some hits across the board and a meh here and there. I return to this particular wine however to fill my Valpolicella jones.

Whelan's from Ed K, great value, 2023 drinking well, a bit of tart, but great structure, very pleasing on the nose, cracking wine/experience so happy to have expanded beyond French classics which are and still consistent and benchmark for my palatte — 9 days ago

Probably approaching or at its peak, an inexpensive Riserva that paired nicely with mushroom ravioli with an olio and sun dried tomato sauce. — 3 months ago

Your typical Sunday barbaresco. Not too hot, not too cold, it' a goldilocks nebbiolo. Not too firm, Not too soft either. Mayhaps I'd be inclined to rebuy. — 5 months ago

It also has a bit of chardonnay and riesling in various percentages depending on the vintage.
Favorita vines are pretty old, they were planted in 1980. It is a clone of vermentino apparently that has established itself in Piemonte.
The wine is dry, personality, freshness and it is easy drinking.
The price is a bonus.

Another excellent vintage of this Barbaresco favorite. Light ruby color with garnet highlights. Aromas of red fruit, rose petals, orange zest and toasted wood. Delicate flavors of sour red and black cherries, sweet baking spices and red and black licorice. Lengthy finish, gentle (but tight) tannins and plus/tangy acidity. Medium bodied, feminine and harmonious. Still young with time to progress. Thanks for opening this bottle, Keith S! — 5 months ago
