Beneventano Falanghina

I have to say that this is a fantastic white Italian wine! 100% Falanghina. It was highly recommended at the wine store. I usually start the evening with a white then go to a red but I may end the evening with this one. Paired excellent with a seafood fettuccine that I’ve been dying to make.

Interesting white. Straw with fruity aromas. Pear, honey and apricot flavors with some citrus getting through. Medium body, short finish ends with mineral notes. Good value. Tasting Sample.

One of my favorite vintages of this wine to date. Had more ripe flavors and a better concentration of it, more ample acidity (not volatile), and much more aromatics than some previous vintages. Honeysuckle, peaches, white flowers, candied lemon, orange blossom. Very nice wine to have during spring time with a nice tart.

Straw with fruity aromas. Pear, honey and apricot flavors with some citrus tucked in. Medium body, ends with mineral notes. Good value.

Great little wine from Campania to keep around. Went perfectly with a simple Aglio e Olio recipe. Soft florals on the nose - orange zest, white peaches, and honeysuckle. The pallet is Citrusy, bright, and slightly creamy/oily in mouth feel - Meyer lemon and mineral notes.

Wonderful mineral quality. Just a touch acidic and dry. Well balanced, this is a great wine to drink while dipping Italian bread in olive, balsamic vinaigrette and bruschetta.

Really nice white from campania.. Zesty apricot, bright mid palate, and a creamy, Brie-like finish.. A whiff of smoke on the back end.. Great value from one of my new favorite wineries.

Dry, viscous yet very easy to drink with a lovely apricot note that shows up after some airing. This wine has the extract to age.

This is my go-to wine here at Confetti in Piermont NY (home). Has the nose and body of a chard with the brightness and acidity of a Vermentino...just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!
