FAVORITA
At the beginning of the last century, before being replaced by other varieties, Favorita vine was widely raised along the whole hilly lands of the Tortona region and was used as a table grape.
In this area, in fact, if this vine is raised on sunny slopes it can give excellent results, this thanks to the micro climate and to the nature of grounds which have proved to be particularly suitable to its growing.
