The 2016 Favolalunga is very pretty. Sweet red cherry, mint, pine, crushed flowers and licorice are all very nicely lifted in this gracious mid-weight Vespolina from Boniperti. The 2016 is subtle, nuanced and very expressive. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, April 2020)

100% Vespolina. Stainless steel fermented. Pomegranate, sour cherry, cherry juice, mushroom, cigar, ash, tobacco, tea leaves. Alto Piemonte’s answer to Barbera. Elevated acidity, medium low fine tannins, medium alcohol. Medium finish and intensity.

Ages and mellows very well if kept right. Mellow bouquet with honey notes. Sour cherry on the pallette. Needs a little time to breathe.

Pleasant with a hint of spice. Nice weeknight wine.

Outstanding Vespolina from Piedmont, Colli Novaresi. From the town of Barengo, this Vespolina has hints of pomegranate and is produced by the Boniperti winemakers, from the family of Gianpiero Boniperti, legendary Juventus striker and president. My first glass of red wine in a month, worth it!
