Introduction:
The 2024 Tibaldi Favorita is a crisp, aromatic white from Langhe that highlights the native Favorita grape with elegance. A wine that balances perfume, freshness, and texture—ideal when you want something lively and food-friendly without heaviness.

Terroir:
Grown in Langhe, Piedmont, in vineyards that benefit from calcareous-marly soils, good elevation, and cooling night breezes. The 2024 vintage in Langhe is showing promise: relatively consistent weather, good ripeness, and fresh acidity preserved due to cooler nights. The Tibaldi estate practices sustainable viticulture.

Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with green highlights. Bright, clear, and with light viscosity suggesting natural fruit purity and freshness.

Nose:
Aromas of white flowers and acacia, citrus blossom, green apple, fresh pear, with hints of stone fruit like peach. There’s also a subtle wet stone or mineral note under the fruit, adding clarity and lift.

Palate:
Light to medium body. Crisp acidity drives flavors of lemon peel, pear, and white peach. Favorita’s softer texture comes through on the mid-palate, with a gentle saline-mineral streak that balances the fruit. Refreshing, balanced, and clean—no heavy oak presence.

Finish:
Clean and lingering. Fruity citrus and orchard fruit fade to mineral and floral echoes. Leaves the palate refreshed and eager for another sip.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Meat dish: Grilled sea bass with lemon and herbs or shrimp scampi with garlic and parsley

• Vegetarian option: Zucchini carpaccio or asparagus risotto with fresh herbs

• Cheese pairing: Fresh goat cheese or a young Asiago—cheeses that highlight the wine’s acidity without overwhelming its delicacy

Overall Impression:
2024 Tibaldi Favorita is a bright and aromatic white that delivers purity of fruit, lively acidity, and mineral elegance in a refreshing package. Light and versatile, it’s perfect for seafood, light pastas, or as an aperitif. A well-crafted wine showing Favorita’s potential in Langhe.
