2007 Vesevo Sannio Falanghina

This is a delicious white wine that we picked up on our trip to Atlanta. It's from the area of Compangia in Italy. It has a light golden color, and a fairly complex nose of honeysuckle, citrus and minerals. It's pretty aromatic for a white wine. The taste is similar with good acidity, pleasant citrus notes that are more orange than lemon, and a little white peach. It has good minerality and has a nice weight to it. It's one of my favorite whites, dry but complex and full bodied. This wine is from Total Wines in Atlanta and cost $12 a bottle. 87 points from Wine Spectator. We had this with pasta with calamari, scallops, and clams in a light tomato based sauce. A very good pairing.
