Vinicola del Sannio Falanghina 2015
Pale yellow. The bouquet is of orchard fruit trees in late blossom, quite lovely. this is the first time I've tasted this wine since lunch with the winemaker at a restaurant high on a hill above the winery. We Minnesotans opted to sit on the terrace, short sighted optimism from northern clime folks. As my mother would say, "You're old enough to know better." The wind blew so hard at lunch smelling the wines was difficult. This Falanghina smells good and tastes even better. Lemon grass and lime zest flavors enliven the pleasant grapiness. I could and I'll bet you'll agree quaff this all day. I love unassuming wines to quaff and embrace.
12% ABV.
