Comment on: Falanghina Strione 2007

This golden wine deceives the brain into thinking it will be more like a sweet dessert wine, but it is a full and flavoursome Falanghina with a delcious light oakyness (not harsh like the old southern hemisphere chardonnays were). Like all the wines from Cantine Astroni, it has a clean, pure taste which allows you to enjoy every aspect of it's peachy-apricotyness with a gentle dry finish. Sadly, I only ordered one bottle - if t comes back in stock I will buy some to lay down (self-control willing!).

Unusual wine this one with a dry start followed with a almost mulchy after taste, like the smell of autumn leaves. Scrummy with rich summer food and also passable at room temperature, do allow to air though as the taste changes.

This is unusual, one of the most interesting whites I have had in a long time. Noticeably deep golden in colour, and not a big nose but a dry, slightly tannic edge which stood up incredibly well to the roasted pepper we ate with it. Very different, very worth trying. I'm off to order another three bottles. Cheers. Si.

A nice, creamy taste. Nice change from Chardonnay & Pinot G.

A golden hue suggests a richness absent from your average white. The flavour backs it up but is short-lived. It's got a character that will develop well with age.
