Tasting Notes

Deep yellow-gold core with hints of copper. On the nose, it is very complex, with dried and candied fruit, hints of apricot and of orange peel. Notes of yellow flowers accompanied by warm and full ethereal sensations of intense honey. On the palate, the wine is complex, well-structured, sweet yet with refreshing acidity, opulently soft, with lingering fruity taste of candied fruit and honey aftertaste.

The Fanti estate has belonged to the Fanti Family since the beginning of the eighteenth century. It extends over 300 hectares, of which 52 are vineyards, 110 are olive orchards (with over 8,500 olive trees), 80 hectares used for seed plots and 70 as forests. In 2004, Fanti began building their modern and spacious gravity-flow cellar for winemaking, ageing and refinement. Specifically designed to improve handling of the carefully selected grapes produced with extreme care in the vineyards, this system avoids unnecessary and aggressive pumping. Fanti practices sustainable agriculture and aims to offer truly characteristic, high quality wines, expressive of the unique terroir of Castelnuovo dell' Abate.
