Underrated, Inexpensive Summer Wines.
We are thrilled that James Powers from the Wine Thief in New Haven will conduct the tasting and will lead a ‘question and answer’ zoom on Sunday April 25th at 6 pm. on summer wines, white and rose. Please become involved and ask questions.
The four underrated, inexpensive Italian wines suggested for tasting are available from the Wine Thief . Delivery and Shipping is available.
Falanghina: Cantine Iorio Falanghina Beneventano 2019. Tiny winery on the slopes of Taburno, displays the honeyed white flower/white tea quality that is key to the variety. $16
Greco: Colli di Lapio Greco di Tufo "Alèxandros" 2019. The Alexandros is crisp and chalky and refined, with subtle herb and citrus essence notes. True wine of terroir. $24
Vermentino: Terenzuola "Vigne Basse" Colli di Luni Vermentino 2019. From the Ligurian coast, one of the two important zones for the grape. Crisp, bright and highly aromatic. Organically farmed, also, and a steal at $18. (We will carry their 2020 olive oil soon)
Fiano: I Favati "Pietramara" Fiano di Avellino 2018. Tre Bicchieri winner, 'nough said in a way. A true favorite and displays the incredible and hard to describe hazelnut/almond quality of great Fiano. $28.
