Poderi dal Nespoli Famoso

As early as the fifteenth century, the Italians made white wine from the Famoso grape. But by the end of the last century it had virtually disappeared. There were two rows of Famoso sticks left. In a forgotten vineyard near the village of Mercato Saraceno. These were discovered by a few local winemakers. They started experimenting and were impressed. About ten winemakers are now pressing Famoso wine again.

This one from Poderi dal Nespoli has blossom and jasmine in the nose. It is mild and soft, with ripe pear and juicy tropical fruit of Galia melon. Pleasant almond bitters in the aftertaste. Low alcohol, easy to combine and very competitively priced. Famoso is Italian for 'famous'. We understand why.
