Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Pale yellow color. Rich and intense aroma of fruit with hints of apple, pineapple, quince and pear. Fresh and clean in the mouth with excellent acidity, good structure, and a floral finish.
Versatile enough to serve for the whole meal, ideal with appetizers, soups, fish dishes, buffalo mozzarella, and fresh cheees.

James Suckling
Fresh falanghina with a slightly saline character to the nose and palate. Subtle and elegant delivery of lemon, white fruit, flowers and sliced apples. Delicate, dry and tangy. Drink now.

Wine Enthusiast
Honey, almond flowers and preserved lemons on the nose open for a palate that’s sweet and nutty with flavors of honeyed salted almonds. The balance is maintained with high acidity and a citrus pith astringency on the finish.

Italian White Wine
The rolling hills and endless coastlines of Italy deliver a unique diversity of soils and climate to foster a number of regional specialties. With a multitude of indigenous varieties that thrive exclusively here, the selection of white wines offers a range of styles and flavors.
The most well-known white variety in Italy is of course Pinot Grigio. Typically found in the northern Italian regions, the light, fresh and easy-drinking options can be found in the Veneto region, while the richer, more complex styles come from Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige. These two northeast regions are also crafting delicions Pinot Bianco and a regional specialty, Friulano.
In Piedmont, two white regions shine. The crisp and zippy Gavi, made with a Cortese grape, and Arneis, a variety that produces a subtle by dry wine. In the Veneto, the Garganegna grape creates the wine of Soave, a zesty but medium-bodied wine full of rich stone fruit and floral notes.
Further south, you'll find the pretty and floral Falenghina, rich and tropical Grillo and zesty Greco. Head to Sicily to discover the delicious and complex Etna Biancos, made with the Carricante grape in the island's volcanic soils.
If you enjoy a tangy but textured white wine with seafood, head to Sardinia and try out the Vermentino there. The grape is also found in other Italian provinces and is always a delight.
