Raffaele Palma

Puntacroce Bianco Costa d'Amalfi Falanghina Blend 2012

Riddley Walker

8.9

Несладкая бледная курага, подбродивший ананас, айва, цедра лимона, тонкий след личи, свежие опилки, миндаль, шалфей, полынь, солёная морская вода в послевкусии. Полное, маслянистое тело; хорошая, чуть уступающая объёму кислотность. Чистая и глубокая фруктовость плотно уложена в тонкую корзиночку из песочного теста. Использована только сталь, но мне почему-то мерещится призрак бочки. Ещё молодо, амбициозно, старательно, довольно интересно и с чувством места.

Tropical fruits like honeydew and pineapple, with some honey notes, minerality. A little more body than other falanghinas, but among the best we've ever had. Patio pounder for sure. — 8 years ago

Reminiscing about this amazing value Super Tuscan we had at Officina last week during restaurant week in DC.

Restaurant week at Officina and a perfect wine for our three course meal. Thank you Natalie for the recommendation. Deep ruby red in appearance. Took some time to open up on the nose but showed layers of mocha, floral, touch of minerals, blue and black fruits and spices. Medium tannins (5.5/10) with balanced acidity and a medium plus body. Plush Merlot definitely comes through in the mid palate with black currants, black cherries, chocolate, espresso and a touch of earthiness. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2023.

Crazy good wine for only $60.00 on a wine list. Made up of 50% Sangiovese with the remainder made up of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, making this a true Super Tuscan Blend. All the Sangiovese is aged in stainless steel while the rest are aged in barriques. This wine is from an area in the southern part of Tuscany called Maremma, more specifically Upper Maremma in the Colline Metallifare zone. Need to find some more of this IGT. Label is designed by Raffaele De Rosa.
