Tasting notes
Tasting notes
Golden yellow color, intense.
Full and complex nose plays on citrus and mineral notes dictated by the terroir with marine memories.
Notes of yellow fruit enrich the olfactory pleasantness.
On the palate it enters with great style, the fruits perceived on the nose return impetuously, mineral and saline notes give strength lengthening the drink; an ‘excellent acid vein supports the sip from good fatness and pulp in the center of the mouth.
It presents a slight tannic texture, typical of the grape variety.
Winemaking notes
Vinification in absence of skins with soft pressing.
Fermentation in 225 l oak barrels 50% fi rst passage.
Ageing: 9 months in barrique, and at least 15 months in bottle.
Label
The label shows an allegory of nature, taken from Silvio Gordini’s sketches, depicting a winged putto riding a grotesque two-headed chimera, intent on seizing the rich basket of fruit placed right on the mythological being’s head.
The image is striking in the details of the brushstroke, showing a vivacity of colour and elegance without equal.
The name Farfarello comes from one of the trotting horses in Paolo and Aldo’s grandfather’s stable, a horse so named because it is an animal with a strong character, just like the Albana that takes its name.
