Southern Italy in Campania...Aglianico, Taurasi, Pierdirosso, Fiano di Avellino, Falanghina, Greco di Tufo, Coda di Volpe. All typically run from $15 and up. 2005 and 2007 are great years. 2000, 2001 for Taurasi.

anisey notes (also shared by basil and tarragon). Many whites work well with this flavour family, including Sauvignon Blanc, Falanghina and Riesling. The orange would push him toward Riesling but the sugar and dark flavours rule...

wine that I found languishing in a dusty bin. Last summer it was falanghina; next summer, who knows? It’s nearly impossible to take into account one person’s opinion on something as objective as wine tastes. Open any...

Just a few suggestions to get out of the realm of Chardonnay: 1) Falanghina - The old grape from Campagnia in Italy. Feudi revitalized this region and this fairly cheap white is great with food from light pasta to some heavy meats

, as far as white his Falanghina is superb. Avignonesi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Campanelle 50/50 For reading, I recommend either the Slow Food Guide to Italian wine or Gambero Rosso. I am pretty disappointed with the Spectator,...

Hard to decide on this one. Every well-made Albarino I have tried, everything containing Greco or Falanghina (particularly an IGT from Lazio which combined the two), every cheap Vouvray (demi-sec), and every Carmenere I have...

With keilbasa, pierogi and green beens: 2006 Fattoria La Rivolta Taburno Falanghina. ABV 13%. Golden color, pears and green apple and some minerality. (Not the best match, but we did not have any good beer on hand.) Pitched by...

Chardonnays but I do like Chablis. I drink a lot of Italian whites, mainly Piedmont and Liguria but some Sicilian as well, like falanghina, greco di tufo and recently discovered the fantastic erbaluce. I don’t know enough...

. Whites: smaller denomination Loires, Austrian gruner veltiners, falanghinas, inzolias, and Sardinian vermentinos from Italy. I do not as a rule but California or Australia, simply due to taste—I prefer more modest,...
