Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
TERRE STREGATE |
Bright medium straw colour. Intense, very spicy, cantalope-yellow-grapefruit nose with some gently complex, faintly toasty notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, mouthfilling, slightly spicy,intense, ripe yellow grapefruit flavours with a fairly complex, mineral-tinged, high acid, very faintly resiny finish. An excellent, very well-priced example of Falanghina del Sannio with according to the LCBO 13% alcohol and 6 g/L residual sugar (back label removed). The 2015 appeared in Vintages (***) with 90-points on August 19, 2017 at $17.95 and was a Recommended Best Buy. |

TASTING NOTE: The 2016 Falanghina Del Sannio Svelato needs a good dose of aeration in order to reach its full potential. It plays on a different style, proving more generous and succulent than the category's more classic repertoire, with notes of tropical and citrus fruit following through onto a rich palate that's well-sustained at the finish. Score - 3 Glasses (out of 3) (Gambero Rosso Italian Wines, 2018) |
