Reviews and Ratings

Marcy Piquette WSET 3 reviewed this wine as follows:

2018
Falanghina (Fah-lahn-ghee-nah) is a varietal that has been around since antiquity.  Its name is derived from the stakes that support the grapes. It is a dry white that has two styles, fruity and floral.  The Torrevento from Puglia is more floral than fruity. With the scent of honey, white peach, subtle citrus and a whisper of almonds, it shares the same drink-me-now cheekiness as Pinot Grigio.  Yummy with seafood, grilled shrimp, scallops, and lemon/garlic dishes. I enjoyed it with a chickpea and feta salad the other day. Consider it when planning your holiday season wine list. Its medium acidity and floral character make it  perfect for those who love whites in the cooler seasons. The name alone is a conversation starter.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
