Fontanavecchia Falanghina del Sannio Facetus

Exciting, but certainly not for evryone

This is a fascinating wine made with floral Falanghina, but also macerated on its skins and submitted to oxidative vinification. It is also nearly 10 years old, which makes it an oddity, but very welcome one. The skin contact gives it tannins, very much like a red. The result is delicious, with a butterscotch edge to the floral and peachy fruit, and herbal and mushroomy nuances. It is intense but never overwhelming. It also has a very long and complex aftertaste.
