Campania Falanghina

F for fabulous Falanghina

This wine smells like the seashore, with some nectarines, apricots and citrus thrown into the mix. The palate offers a showcase of minerality, with Meyer lemon and stone fruit trailing behind. Acidity is fresh and racy, perfect for pairing with a seafood dish, oysters in particular.

So before the following I am gonna tell you how well this pairs with southwest salad and potatoes that have had some Funtime in hot oil. It isn’t quite a unicorn but at least a mermaid wine. It can sing and swim. Maybe it has legs AND fins—take that Ariel deniers. Anyway. Should I be proper? On the nose a lot of salt and baked stone fruit and apple juice. On the palate a body not quite voluptuous but not quite not. Lemons (baked stewed raw and candied) and hint of salad green barely ripe peach medium plus acid. Alcohol I am guessing is...12.5. Maybe 13 but...checked label it says it is 13. Snazzy. This wine is good with the slightly spicy southwest flavors but also chill with salad so that’s cool. I also served this at thanksgiving earlier this year because it can be friends with most dishes. Falanghina does a great service to food.

Melon, mineral, orange zest, citrus / med+ acid, med or med- body with some salinity on palate / slightly bitter candied lemon on finish / crisp

Super tasty.

Love it. Ripe melon, citrus zest. I feel like I’m in a ‘50s beach movie musical and the cute but wholesome protagonist just sent me a glass of this from across the tiki bar. [Insert joke about getting lei’d here] 🏖

Shockingly pleasant southern Italian white. Like a Chardonnay that escaped the oak forest from central cal.

Good, but tastes better in Rome ;)

White flower nose, delicate taste - would have been better earlier in the evening but I was shooting in the dark 😃.

Great summer juice with balanced minerality and plump melons! ;) one of my favorite whites under 15$!
