FALLEGRO
LANGHE FAVORITA 2021
GIANNI GAGLIARDO WINERY • PIEDMONT • ITALY
"The bright side of Piedmont: a crisp white that dances between the Alpine breeze and the character of the Langhe hills."
The Discreet Elegance of Gianni Gagliardo
Fallegro 2021 is a masterful creation by the **Gianni Gagliardo** family, famous for their powerful Barolos, but who here demonstrate a delicate touch for whites. The Favorita grape is cultivated in the sandy soils of the Langhe and Roero hills, which gives it unique sapidity and minerality. Vinified entirely in stainless steel to preserve its purity, Fallegro is a wine that celebrates the immediate freshness, citrus fruit, and unpretentious elegance of a great white from northern Italy.

Technical Sheet and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is it a wine for cellaring?
Fallegro is designed to be consumed in its youth (within the first 2 to 3 years) to capture all its vivacity and fruity aromatic profile.
How does it compare to a traditional Vermentino?
Being cultivated inland in Piedmont (Langhe) and not near the sea, it tends to be a bit fresher and with a more rocky rather than saline minerality, maintaining a very "Piedmontese" elegance.
Is it suitable for vegans?
Gianni Gagliardo works with a philosophy of minimal intervention, seeking the purity of the varietal in every step of the winemaking process.
