Dario Prinčič, Favola 2018

Place: Friuli, Italy

Grape: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Ribolla Gialla, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blanc

Vibe: Advanced

The pinnacle of the Prinčič portfolio that is only made in the best years from the best grapes. This big blend sees 30 days on skins before being sent off for a lengthy 3-year rest in barrel. From its slumber emerges a mind-bending, heady example of orange par excellence. Brash and bold with tannin, acidity, and texture turned all the way up. Remarkably though this remains in perfect balance and drinks like a dream. ABV: 13.5%
