This wine is kinda boring but then again so am
I. Falanghina is one of dozens of native varietals in the Campania, one of Italy's oldest wine growing regions. At it's best, the varietal's dominant citrus notes are balanced with nuances of minerality and spice. This offering has a straw and light gold color in the glass. Lemon, lime, rock candy, and bit of
laughing gas are present on the nose. The San Gregorio has medium to full body with a bright fruit forward notes. Nice dried tropical fruit notes do battle with candied lemon (think
sour patch kids and jolly ranchers). I didn't pick up any spice or minerality. It also falls off pretty quickly but at least ends dry and clean. Drop 13 bucks at for it at Costco and no one will give you any dirty looks at your next dinner party.
