Abbona Favorita "Valle dell'Olmo" from the Marziano Abbona winery, located in the picturesque hills of the Langhe region in the Piedmont is an under appreciated white wine that brings both approachability and complexity. Made exclusively from the Favorita grape—a lesser-known but highly expressive local variety believed to be a Piedmontese cousin of Vermentino—this wine embodies the unique character of the region. In the glass, it reveals a luminous straw-yellow color and releases an aromatic bouquet of white peaches, citrus zest, acacia flowers, and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, Abbona Favorita is dry yet vibrant, with a crisp acidity and persistent mineralality that highlights its freshness and finesse. The wine undergoes careful vinification in stainless steel tanks, allowing the purity of its fruit and delicate floral nuances to shine without the influence of oak. The result is a lively, food-friendly wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes—from light seafood and fresh salads to grilled white meats and soft cheeses. More than just a refreshing aperitif, Abbona Favorita reflects the terroir and artisanal winemaking that define the Abbona estate’s philosophy.
