  • 2019 Fontanavecchia Falanghina del Sannio 88 Points

    Brilliant straw yellow.
    Very elegant at nose, mainly agrunes, sweet flowers (acacia) on an almonds' bakground.
    Velvety to the palate. Well balanced thanks to a fresh minerality. Closes with agrumes' hints.
    Opulent, but not heavy.

    Italy, Molise, Tintilia del Molise

    Very dark ruby red.
    Intense and complex at nose, ematic hints, red oranges, liquorice, dried roses up to graphite notes.
    Not an easy wine to drink. Lacking harmony, with detached tannins and components. Mainly with fruity notes. Complex, but not fine. Anarchist natural wine.
