Furlani Antico

Antico by FURLANI is a distinctive organic wine hailing from the picturesque slopes of Trentino-Alto Adige in Italy. This natural wine is a true reflection of its Alpine roots, made from a harmonious blend of traditional grape varieties that thrive in this unique region. With an alcohol by volume of 11.5%, Antico embodies the vibrant essence of its terroir, offering a rustic charm and a lively freshness that makes it a delightful choice for both seasoned wine enthusiasts and those new to natural wines. On the palate, Antico greets you with an invigorating freshness, characterized by bright acidity that balances its inherent fruitiness. Expect notes that are typically reminiscent of crisp orchard fruits and subtle hints of alpine herbs. The wine's body is light to medium, with a texture that is both refreshing and engaging, making it an ideal partner for a variety of culinary experiences. Its tannins are gentle, allowing the wine's natural zest to shine through without overwhelming the palate. The finish is clean and brisk, leaving a lingering impression of its alpine origin. For the best experience, serve Antico slightly chilled at around 50-55°F (10-13°C) to enhance its fresh and lively character. While decanting is not necessary, a few minutes in the glass allows its aromas to open up beautifully. A standard white wine glass will suffice, ensuring that you can fully appreciate its aromatic profile. Antico pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes, from simple salads dressed with citrus vinaigrettes to grilled white meats and seafood. Its bright acidity complements the creamy textures of soft cheeses, while its herbal nuances can elevate savory appetizers featuring fresh herbs. Though delightful now, Antico is best enjoyed within a few years of release to savor its vibrant freshness, making it an ideal choice for those seeking an authentic taste of the Italian Alps.
