Review Date: 08/2025

Producer/Historical Fact: Falanghina is an ancient grape variety, believed to be the basis of the legendary Falernian wine of the Roman Empire. It was nearly lost to phylloxera but has made a triumphant comeback. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with a rounder, softer texture than its Campanian cousins, showcasing ripe stone fruit and a gentle, refreshing acidity.

While there's some fruit for sure, the more savory notes in the wine come out first. There's a dense minerality, and the lightest hint of something that kind of is reaching towards a Riesling-petrol note, but not quite getting there, maybe an extension of the minerality. Underneath that is really pretty crisp green apple, juicy and pithy lemon, and some white flowers. The palate is round and moderately deep, fairly weighty overall and the fruit is all a little honeyed, despite the wine being totally bone dry. There's a little bit of fatness to the palate, coupled with a little bit of a barrel note that make me want something with this, some chicken, pork, and grilled fish all sound great - but you could also just go for it and pair it solely with a glass. Every day is your own Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book.

Notes

The 2021 Azienda Sacco “Aleis” is a vibrant and expressive Falanghina that perfectly captures the freshness of the variety. The nose is bright and aromatic, with notes of crisp green apple, white peach, and lemon zest, accented by a hint of white flowers and wet stone. On the palate, it’s light-bodied and zesty, with a lively, mouthwatering acidity that frames the clean, juicy fruit flavors. The finish is clean and refreshing with a touch of saline minerality, making this an incredibly versatile and food-friendly white, perfect for seafood or as a classic aperitivo.
