Brichet Langhe Favorita DOC 2025 - Vite Colte x 6

The Revival of Favorita in the Langhe Region: The Profile of Brichet Cuvée

The Vite Colte Brichet Langhe Favorita DOC stands within the northwestern Italian white wine landscape as a model of extraordinary freshness, varietal sharpness, and gastronomic agility. This esteemed wine cooperative coordinates the careful work of its associated winegrowers, merging traditional knowledge and the passion of the Langhe farmers with a strict, modern cellar protocol. The project focuses on the desire to highlight the true identity and native character of the Favorita grape (a local biotype of Vermentino), turning it into a still wine with an aristocratic profile and a vibrant mouthfeel. Brichet commands attention in the glass as a white wine of impeccable formal clarity, designed to accompany the daily table with fineness and dynamism.

Hillside Pedoclimatic Notes and Protective Cellar Protocol

The vineyards develop on hillside plots characterized by loose soils with a sandy and marly-limestone matrix—a unique pedoclimatic habitat ideal for emphasizing the intensity of volatile aromatic precursors and safeguarding the sharp acidic freshness of the berry. The manual harvest selects the clusters at their perfect point of phenolic balance. In the cellar, processing applies strict technological criteria oriented toward maximum protection of the mass from oxygen to preserve the primary fragrance of the white grape. Alcoholic fermentation takes place exclusively in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats using selected yeasts. Aging in steel strengthens the grape's mineral architecture without the use of oak, safeguarding an exceptionally agile mouthfeel and an alcohol content of 11.00% Vol.
