“Due Fonti” is a really special wine as it tells us, already on the nose, its sincerity and transparency as well as its clear, unambiguous message: “I am a clean, handmade, therefore artisanal wine, processed as wine once was (but with modern technology and know-how), as a result of these people’s passion and love for this territory”. It is a straight, sincere, as well as pleasurable and balanced, wine. Indeed, the grapes from which it is made, i.e. Trebbiano (70%) and especially Malvasia (30%), make it an aromatic, soft, very agreeable and appealing wine. Its making includes some peculiar steps. First and foremost, ten-day maceration on skins: a bold practice, therefore seldom used nowadays, which provides the wine with a powerful golden colour and intriguing aroma and palate intensity. Also, it is unfiltered, a technical choice attesting this wine’s naturalness. A further peculiarity worthy of notice is its long ageing (6 months at least) in steel and glass. This means that, against any business or market logic, Fabiani puts it on sale a year later than usual, therefore the wine matures, ages, improves and is enhanced as time goes by. Its best food pairing is probably with Tuscan “Ribollita”, but it also accompanies fish and white meat in a decidedly agreeable manner.
TASTING NOTES
COLOUR
Golden yellow, simultaneously showing deep and bright shades.
AROMA
Rich and complex, its aroma recalls ripe yellow fruit, dried flowers, hay, aromatic herbs and includes some enjoyable honey scent as well.
PALATE
Soft as it enters the mouth, even though one can taste freshness and a slightly tannic texture balancing its round notes. Its sip is well-balanced, full, and rich, with a fresh, clean finish.
