Beautiful 2006 D.O.C. Sannio Falanghina from Vesevo last night, consumed with Joanie's delicious Salmon crab cakes (these have fins!), couscous, and a salad of cukes, toms, organic greens lightly dressed w/rice wine vinegar . . . The wine was a lovely copper color with notes of golden apple, body similar to certain Rou...sannes, and balanced acidity that made it ideal with the food. This one is a winner!
Vesevo is apparently the ancient name of Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that regularly decimates southern Italy from Rome to Puglia. The mountain taketh away, but also giveth--providing some of the more fertile volcanic soils on the Italian peninsula. The mountain certainly gave us a beautiful Falanghina . . .
