Straw yellow color with greenish reflections. Fresh and floral scents, citrus aromas, apple, pear and mineral notes. Round, smooth and juicy with high acidity, yet well balanced with rich flavors.
Pairs well with seafood, mozzarella cheese, risotto, white meats.
"The 2023 Falanghina is a saltier, more mineral-driven beauty offering clean white peach-like fruit, medium-bodied richness, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's going to absolutely shine on the dinner table and be as versatile as they come. This is 100% Falanghina brought up in tank, and it's made in reasonable quantities, so it should be easy to find. Give it a try!"

"A solar, summery nose offers ripe peaches and orange slices with a salty swipe of tahini before a palate that's even more peachy and honeyed, but also citrus and warm, with the refreshing salinity of a passing seabreeze. — Danielle Callegari"

" Pronounced nose of sage, basil, kiwi fruit and guava. Some fruit-salad character, with a medium body and simple, juicy finish. Drink now.”

"Fruit salad and light honeycomb notes here. Medium-bodied with a focused palate that includes a phenolic grip on the finish. Rather angular. Drink now.”
