Feudi Di San Gregorio Albente 2020
Campania, ItalyFeudi di San Gregorio has made a huge impact in their home region of Campania in a relatively small amount of time. Founded in the mid-1980s, they've been protecting and rediscovering key indigenous grapes. Varied soils, and altitude between 350-600m gives them ample room to experiment. Albente is 100 percent falanghina, an ancient variety known to the Romans, and grown on the chalky soils around Tufo. A short stint in stainless steel preserves the bright fruit and gets it ready to market quickly. Intense with the southern Italian sun, yet lifted by altitude, soils, and smart picking decisions, this streams perfumed Bosc pear, lemon blossom, green fig, marcona almond along a bright, silken lees palate. Though only 12.5%, this has presence, calling out for Mediterranean pepper and /or fish dishes now.Tasted: 23 January 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $20.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
