Agricola Foppiani - 'Vino di Fognano Bianco' - Malvasia di Candia, Ortugo - Emilia Romagna, IT - 2021

Italian earthiness in a bottle! Like eating ripe apricots while you trudge through rainy northern Italian vineyards.

The type of orange wine that can heal illness and dispel the worry of the world. It's a remarkable wine from a remarkable winery. 2 weeks of skin contact with no additions or subtractions of any kind. Just purity in a perfect country package. I love this wine so much. It truly is elegant in all its natural beauty and brings so much joy in a hidden and layered way. Tasting is believing! Pro tip: Serve cold and enjoy as it slowly warms and evolves!

Style: more luscious and mouth filling, yet dry and elegantly tannic in a food-phenomenal way. Semi-aromatic malvasia brings a perfect citrus laden dried florality it to this bottle that is truly one of my favorite combos.

Paolo Foppiani + Giulio Armani oDenavolo & La Stoppa ! Foppiani’s land and farming w/Giulio’s hand in cellar. All organic farming, no so2, nothing but labor of love. This project is synergistic between all the hands that have made la stoppa winery immensely important over the years. Just excellent at every turn - and I do mean every turn.
