The 2009 Falanghina di Sannio is a very pretty, refined white. Layers of intensely perfumed fruit emerge from the glass as this stylish Falanghina struts its stuff. The wine offers excellent balance, and a long, harmonious close. This would make a great summer or aperitif wine. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2011.

This fresh, vibrant white shows melon, lemon and grapefruit character, with a hint of blanched almond. Medium-bodied, tight and focused, with good acidity. Leaves a salty mineral aftertaste. Drink now. 83,500 cases made. ûJC JULY 2009 ISSUE

Summer is the perfect time of year for this refreshing and full flavored white from Campania. An elegant blend with subtle compexities that intermix perfectly for a balanced, aromatic, and palate cleansing white.
