Campania, ItalyThis falanghina grows in Campania's volcanic, sandstone, and marl hills of Sorbo Serpico, not far from Mount Vesuvius. This was fermented and aged in stainless, where it remained on lees for 5 months. Deep yellow in hue, this leads with meadow grass, Bosc pear, subtle honeysuckle, bitter lemon, on an expansive, wider palate, moderate in acidity, but with ample buzzy minerality laced throughout, and hovering on the lengthy finish. Works well with heavier white fish / shellfish or white pasta dishes.Tasted: 04 March 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Campania, ItalyFeudi di San Gregorio hasn't been around all that long by Italian wine standards, roughly three decades, but they have made a serious impact with a plan to preserve indigenous grapes such as fiano, greco, falanghina, and aglianico, while actively looking for even more obscure varieties to bring back to life. The vineyards are set in the volcanic, sandstone and marl hills of Sorbo Serpico, not far from Mount Vesuvius. The nose and attack is spare but super fresh, with pear, lees, floral, and mineral notes. Not for everyone, but if you like exciting, refreshing, electric white wine that is a match for almost any equally fresh seafood, this is it.Tasted: 22 January 2018Tasted by: Prices:
