Mastroberardino Falanghina del Sannio 2017
Campania, ItalyThe Mastroberardino family, leaders in Italian viticulture, are largely responsible for the revival and elevation of Irpinian and Campanian winemaking post WWII. Working primarily with Campania’s ancient, native varieties, Fiano, Greco, and Aglianico, Mastroberardino has helped rescue would-be extinct grapes. This falanghina, the star white of DOC Sannio, grows in volcanic sandy-loam soils, and was fermented and rested briefly in stainless to preserve the fresh fruit. Almonds, wild citrus, quince glide along the slick palate, buffered by lees, and lingering with a saline buzz. Weight beyond its 12.5%, this is a great food wine for richer fish and shellfish, or lighter risottos.Tasted: 20 November 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $33.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
