This is my first. Fits somewhere into the Torrontes, Fiano, Albariño league table. Needs to be very well chilled though to avoid the aeroplane dope / cheap shampoo. Cold enough and it springs into a melange of fruit and flowers that is quite lovely with maybe a hint of brazil nut shell. 13% to back it up and the biggest punt that I've come across for a while.

I'm impressed you've moved into Italy as discussed a month or two ago.

Compania next door to Puglia. Thank you for this Mr Bacchus. I've not been there and I know nothing of this grape

A comment from Oddbins some time ago:

Falanghina is not a lost Puccini opera or a weird breed of mushroom but a joyfully obscure Italian grape variety, magnificently revived by Feudi di San Gregorio and the latest in modern vinification methods.

Tasting Notes : Lashings of apple, banana, soft peachy fruit and pineapple flavours with an alluringly savoury yet aromatic edge.

Other tasters talk about pine nuts and kernels, so you are on target with this one. Very attractive bottle - a nice italian feature, that conveys an element of quality and exclusivity.

Has to be stone cold then - 8C or less ?

Has a heavyish capsule too (often a good sign).
Improved also with time after opening. I'm a quirky ol' Baccy, and I just can't get on with large doses of bret, acetone, balsa glue, plasters etc. A really teeny amount in the right place can add to the overall character but only a teeny bit. Yep, I reckon this is best at full-fridge temp.

Still '09. got 2 more. Tried to see if it stood up to "choc-mint-thins". No, not quite, but it recovers quickly. Damn fine effort.
