Barbacàn, Farasciole Bianco 2022

Place: Lombardy, Italy

Grape: Chiavennasca Bianca, Chiavennaschino

Vibe: Natural, lighter

This is a wine I've been waiting far too long to have access to. In Italy, a bottle of this practically changed my life. Srs. Never had anything like it. You probably never will. The ultra-rare Chiavennasca Bianca in all its herbal glory. Abundant in its Alpine joy, the fruit is all orchard yellows, cooling mountainous air, fennel seeds, and pine. The Italians are true masters of weaving a bitter grip into their biancos, and this is no exception. Everything Barbacan touch is pure gold. Instagram page included. Stop reading, get drinking.
