Barisel Foravia - Favorita - Italy

The Favorita grape, a native of northwestern Mediterranean Italy stretching to Sardinia and France's Provence, is widely recognized as Vermentino along most of its coastal growing areas. In the Canelli hills of Piemonte, it has been called Favorita for nearly four centuries. This wine offers a blend of pear - like white fruit and a delicate tropical flavor. A hint of leesy, yeasty richness adds an exotic touch, reminiscent of fine sake.

To enjoy this Barisel Foravia Favorita wine, first, let it breathe for about 15 - 20 minutes after opening. Serve it chilled at around 45 - 50°F (7 - 10°C). It pairs perfectly with light seafood, such as grilled shrimp or oysters, and soft cheeses. When storing, keep it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Avoid shaking the bottle too much to preserve its flavor. If there's any wine left, re - cork it tightly and store it in the fridge, and try to finish it within 2 - 3 days.
