2013 Fabio de Beaumont Don Fa
Fortified Wine Campania, Italy
Ethereal! Don Fa! Fabio is revisiting an old family recipe, making a fortified wine with a maceration of black cherry leaves. It starts with Aglianico and Barbera grown in the family’s vineyards in Irpinia. The grapes are harvested in late October and early November and after the fermentation and maceration, it rests in steel drums until the next fall. Everything that goes into the bottle comes from the vineyards and neighboring fruit farms (natural fortified wine!) - ‘Don Fa’ is gorgeous and elegant. Vegan!
