FALETTO
This wine is produced from several grape varieties. It consists predominantly of non-native varieties that are grown and vinified in the Langhe. Over the years, the winery has increasingly focused on Cabernet Sauvignon, sometimes blended with indigenous varieties such as Nebbiolo and Barbera, which further enhance the natural physical and chemical characteristics of this wine.
The grapes are sourced from a total vineyard area of approximately one hectare.
It is recommended with substantial first and main courses, and is particularly well suited to rabbit with peppers.
