Technical Sheet and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this a wine for aging?
Fallegro is designed to be consumed in its youth (within its first 2 to 3 years) to capture all its liveliness, dynamism, and fruity aromatic profile in its full splendor.
How does it compare to a traditional Vermentino?
Being cultivated in the interior of Piedmont (Langhe and Roero) and not directly by the sea, it tends to present a fresher profile, with a predominantly rocky minerality and a sober elegance very characteristic of the Piedmontese style.
Is it suitable for vegans?
Gianni Gagliardo works with a philosophy of minimal oenological intervention, seeking the maximum expression and purity of the varietal at every stage of the production process.
