Press lunch Fonzone at Filia Verona

After Milan and Rome, the Fonzone winery made a stop in Verona to present its new reserves to the trade press. The tasting and discussion was held at the Filia Restaurant, an absolute novelty on the gastronomic scene in Verona, where Michael Silhavi conquered everyone with the combinations between his creative cuisine and the wines of this dynamic Irpinia company.

Born in 2005 on the impetus and intuition of Lorenzo Fonzone Caccese, a former surgeon who took up viticulture, and his family in the DOCG Taurasi area, the Fonzone family’s ambition has always been to make the native vines of Irpinia express themselves at their best: Falanghina, Fiano, Greco and Aglianico. The range presented by the Fonzones during the press lunch unleashed great finesse and versatility, captivating guests with its clean aromas and flavors accompanied by a freshness and a drinkability of great pleasure and depth. A result of research and great work in the vineyard and in the cellar conducted in collaboration with the oenologist Luca D’Attoma.
