2022 Ciro Picariello Falanghina BruEmm

The ‘BruEmm' is a single vineyard bottling of Falanghina Beneventana (there are two different kinds of Falanghina) from a vineyard that Ciro Picariello farms near Benevento, about 30 minutes drive from the cellar. The wine is named for his children, Bruno and Emma. Notes of apple and lemon zest, with a strong mineral character, great complexity, and a very long finish. Pairs with all kinds of seafood or roasted light meats. (This particular kind of Falanghina is a real sleeper, and the fact that Ciro has started to produce it is a real vote of confidence in the variety.)
