Dieci Agosto - Falanghina Brut Bio
Puglia
Antica Enotria
falanghina
A sparkling wine from Puglia is not something you expect — but this one makes a strong case for itself. 100% Falanghina, grown organically on the plains of Cerignola, gently pressed and refermented in the bottle where it rests on its own lees. No disgorgement, so any sediment you see is natural and honest — a sign of what's inside.
In the glass it's pale straw yellow with delicate greenish hints and a fine, persistent perlage. White flowers and stone fruit on the nose, elegant and precise. The palate is fresh and harmonious with a lively acidity that keeps it sharp and clean.
Pierluigi's Note: This is my aperitivo of choice when I want something a little unexpected. Light, fresh and genuinely interesting. Works beautifully with seafood, light appetizers or delicate first courses. Serve very cold.
