Camilla and Francesco Scavino are brother and sister who grew up visiting their grandmother’s farm, Bricco Carlina. When they started their own winery in 2014, they named it in her honor. Seeking organically farmed grapes and using sulfur to stabilize wine only in the bitterest need, they make a range of wines from vineyards spread throughout Alba and Asti. For their estate grown Favorita, they leave the wine on grape skins for 12 days for a little extra oomph, then let the wine settle in steel tanks before bottling. Favorita is probably no one’s favorite grape, but it’s a charming variety related to both Vermentino and Pigato, and shares their distinctive yellow-to-green aromas and propensity to taste salty. The Reserva del Fondatore offers lemon whipped cream, orange zest, almond and peach on the nose. The palate is sharp with apple and lime and preserved lemon, all showing through in creamy textured wine that finishes with a pinch of salt. Fish in cream sauces or birds with crackling skin will both seem appropriate with this wine.
