Falanghina Puglia IGT 2020

  This pure varietal Falanghina pays homage to an ancient grape variety, whose name likely derives from the Greek word 'Phalangos' for the antique supporting stakes in the vineyard, presenting itself in the glass with sparkling greenish reflections. To capture the fragile aromatics of white blossoms, crisp citrus fruits, and yellow stone fruit in their unadulterated form, aging takes place strictly under temperature control in stainless steel tanks, preserving the vibrant freshness and varietal finesse.

On the palate, the wine reflects the barren limestone soils of the Murgia plateau by combining juicy acidity with a distinct, almost salty minerality that ensures enormous drinkability and lingers long on the finish. This maritime characteristic makes it the perfect partner for raw fish such as carpaccio or sushi, but it harmonizes equally wonderfully with a creamy risotto or local burrata, as it elegantly balances their richness with its clear citrus notes. - Gerardo [TS10/21]
