Tasting notes
The color is straw yellow wtih greenish reflection. The bouquet is bright and complex with notes recalling vanilla, toasted almonds, hazelnuts, hay, musk and flint. On the palate it is dry and open, with richness and yet an important structure. Bianco Faye pairs well with many seafood dishes, especially whole roasted fish. It’s good with white meats too.
Production notes
Fermentation and aging in small oak barrels for about 6 months in contact with its own yeast, with the effect of the “hourglass”. Aged in stainless steel and bottle for a couple of years before being put on the market.
