La Violetta LV Vermentino

J Hoadley’s take on the Piedmont grape, Favorita, is a quirky, refreshing delight. This wine bursts with fresh citrus and quince on the nose, followed by a juicy, textured mouthfeel that glides smoothly across the palate. A slight saline vibe adds an extra layer of complexity, making it feel like a crisp breeze on a hot day. After six days on skins and wild fermentation in seasoned oak, this wine spends nine months on lees, ensuring a touch of intrigue with every sip. Notes of pears, honeydew, and white flowers come together in a deliciously succulent, slightly savoury profile. It’s the kind of wine that feels like a holiday in a glass.
