Il Folicello Limited Edition Bianco is a rare and captivating sparkling white wine from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, crafted by the dedicated organic winemakers Antonella and Marco Folicello at their estate in Castelfranco Emilia. This small-batch offering is produced using the ancestral method, where fermentation completes in the bottle with native yeasts, resulting in a natural, lively effervescence. The blend typically features a combination of indigenous grapes such as Pignoletto and Moscato, or sometimes Montuni, Trebbiano, and Pinot Noir, all grown on the estate’s rocky limestone soils, imparting a unique mineral edge.
This limited edition bianco pours with a slight haze, a hallmark of its unfined and unfiltered nature, revealing the presence of lees that enrich its texture and complexity. The nose is aromatic and alluring, offering notes of ripe peach, orchard fruit like pear, and delicate hints of baking spice or citrus zest, depending on the vintage’s blend. On the palate, it’s dry and refreshing, with a medium-light body, fine bubbles, and a vibrant interplay of fruit and subtle spice, finishing with a crisp, clean acidity. With no added sulfites and an alcohol content around 11-12%, it’s a pure, low-intervention expression of the Folicello philosophy.
Perfect for pairing with vegetarian dishes, seafood, appetizers, or mature cheeses, Il Folicello Limited Edition Bianco is a celebration of organic viticulture and artisanal winemaking. Its fleeting availability and distinctive character make it a special treat for natural wine enthusiasts, embodying the authentic spirit of Emilia-Romagna’s countryside in every sip.
