By Matthew Conway, ASA
(Marisa Cuomo Furore Bianco Fiorduva, Campania, Italy) A blend of three varietals indigenous to the Amalfi Coast: 30% Fenile, 30% Ginestra, and 40% Ripoli. This is one of Italy’s brightest gems, so complex it is hard to summarize. Low yields from terraced slopes produce a concentrated wine with some weight. Its lush, ripe stone fruits are accentuated by oily citrus rind and spring field flowers. The grapes are picked late, adding a pronounced honey character balanced with delightful minerality. This wine will hold its own among the great whites of the world, and at a very reasonable price. Sommelier's Choice: Top Releases of 2009

I worried that this might be over-the-hill, but was wrong to worry: Delicious, complex, beautifully balanced, pear-scented -- we were squeezing the bottle to get the last few drops out.

Lesser Italian White Varietals (Duchman Family Winery Driftwood, Texas): An enjoyable wine, with minerality and stone fruit on the nose, good body, a nice mid-palate and length. Flavors included lemon, menthol, slight cinnamon and ginger, persimmon, mango, some oak, and simple syrup. Good with a slightly spicy meal.
