Picco del sole Falanghina 2009
by Alessandro Botter

  • If you think Falanghina is a splinter terrorist movement, you would be wrong
  • It is one of the most exciting, and one of the least known white wines to come out of Italy since Julius Caesar made himself unwelcome some time ago
  • Straw white colour with greenish hues. The bouquet has notes of fresh fruits as apple, banana, pineapple ; there is also an aromatic note which gives elegance to this wine

"We believe just like our grandfather did that our future success really lies in making the most of the fabulous indiginous grapes our region has to offer. Yes we have had many experiments with grapes from all over the world but time and again the ones we end up pouring into our own glasses at the end of the day are the traditional grapes my grandfather started growing all those years ago. For many in the UK I know the Italian grape names may seem strange, unfamiliar and tricky to pronounce (especially after a few glasses) but please do try them. I am proud of every drop!"

Great, easy drinking wine - went fabulously with my crab fettucini, but would also be great with a nice light chicken salad or if you're feeling wreckless...even on it's own!!

This is very moorish. The flavour suits me perfectly and with fish dishes is brilliant; but is also good on its own being clean, only slightly acidic and very flavoursome. A surprise from an Italian!!!

Very easy to drink on it's own or with food, preferrably chilled

Not to my taste - too sharp and dry for me
