This is what good wine from the Favorita grape tastes like

The Favorita grape is a northern Italian grape from Piedmont. Favorita was long used as a table grape, for eating. However, this grape produces excellent white wines with a fresh, soft flavor, often revealing notes of citrus and white fruit.

The Favorita grows in Piedmont, Italy's northern region. In Roero and Langhe, to be precise. Genetically, the Favorita is closely related to the Vermentino grape, which in turn is called Rolle in southern France. The Italians considered it genetically distinctive enough to grant it its own DOC status in Piedmont. And, to be honest, the Favoritas we tasted are indeed slightly different from the Vermentinos of Sardinia and the Rolles of France. A bit softer and riper.
