Current condition

Fresh with good acidity and fruit expression

Falanghina is a naturally fresh, aromatic white varietal with good acidity. The 2020 vintage vintage character combined with careful production preserves early drinkability while allowing for moderate aging. Peak drinking falls in early to mid-2020s before fruit fades.

Food pairing

Pairs well with shellfish, light seafood dishes, grilled chicken, fresh herb salads, and mild cheeses.
