Cantina del Taburno, Falanghina, Taburno (Italy) 2008

Light yellow.

Extremely attractive nose of sugared peach/apricot/pear and a light floral note.

Some residual sugar maintains the sweet fruit character in the mouth. Mineral/acid synergy eventually asserts itself. Sugar/acid cage match hammers the salivary glands. Hard to stop drinking this.


$14. Falanghina is an esoteric white variety. Budwood finally available in the US next year.
