A charming 100% Falanghina with ripe stone fruits commingling with fresh citrus fruit. Floral on the nose and mineral driven on the finish.
The winery is on the island of Ischia in the gulf of Naples, but the grapes were sourced from Benevento for this bottling. Would love to try the other bottlings from their estate vineyard on the island. — a month ago

This is incredible value. Deep, full bodied and with typical character, at only $13 if I recall correctly, this is some of the best value I've found. — 4 years ago

Strega is an interesting Italian liqueur...better described below. I only sporadically enjoy it, but it's fun and tasty at each sip.

"Strega is an herbal, saffron-infused liqueur deeply tied to the secret world of witchcraft. Witches are said to convene in Benevento to perform rituals and honor Il Noce, the sacred walnut tree. (The lower part of the logo shows witches dancing with demons around Il Noce.) According to legend, Giuseppe Alberti, son of a grocer, saved a witch from falling out of a tree in the woods. In gratitude, she gave him the recipe for an elixir, which the Alberti family began selling in 1860, perhaps as a curative or restorative.

The liqueur's proprietary recipe is a mix of 70 herbs and spices which include Ceylon cinnamon, Florentine iris, Italian Apennine juniper, Samnite mint, fennel, and saffron. Saffron is the key to Strega's signature yellow color and it shares the spotlight with mint and juniper as the most pronounced flavors within the herbal mixture." — 6 years ago
