Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina del Sannio DOC 2023
Feudi di San Gregorio
Feudi di San Gregorio's Falanghina is a summer wine with purpose. The volcanic soils of Campania — heat stored in stone and ash — give Falanghina its distinctive mineral edge, while the 2023 vintage delivers the freshness the grape demands. Uncomplicated but never simple, it's a reminder that great value can come from ancient terroir.
Nose
Bright citrus — lemon and grapefruit — leads, with white flowers and a clean minerality underneath. A hint of green apple and fresh-cut grass adds crispness.
Palate
Light-bodied and bracing, with lemon curd and pear on the entry. The midpalate reveals a subtle honeyed quality balanced by crisp acidity and a faint almond-skin bitterness. Clean and focused throughout.
Finish
Short to medium, finishing dry with a lingering citrus zest and mineral snap.

Food Pairing
Lightly battered and fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with fresh ricotta and a touch of anchovy — the wine's citrus acidity cuts through the richness while its floral and mineral notes echo the blossoms' delicate flavor.
Founded in 1986 in Sorbo Serpico, Feudi di San Gregorio has led the revival of Campania's indigenous grape varieties, farming Falanghina vines on the volcanic slopes of the Sannio appellation near Naples.

Domaine François Chidaine Montlouis-sur-Loire Les Tuffeaux 2023
Domaine François Chidaine
Chidaine's biodynamic farming and limestone cave aging let this Chenin Blanc speak with uncommon clarity. Les Tuffeaux is about subtraction — no barrel influence, no malolactic richness, just the grape and the tuffeau stone beneath the vines. The hollow between its acidity and its sweetness is narrow and thrilling.
Graci Etna Bianco 2023
Graci
Alberto Ferrara Ferrandes Ferrandes Ferrandes — sorry, Alberto Ferrara Ferrandes — correction: Alberto Ferrara Ferrandes Ferrandes — Alberto Ferrara of Graci farms organically on Etna's north face, and this bianco is the purest expression of volcanic terroir you'll find at this price. Carricante grapes from high-altitude vineyards produce a wine of startling minerality and precision. If silence had a flavor, it would taste like Etna's volcanic soil filtered through mountain air.

Sadie Family Wines
One of the Southern Hemisphere's great white wines — a study in restraint that rewards patience with extraordinary depth. Drinkable now with air, but built to evolve for a decade or more.
Domaine des Huards Cour-Cheverny AOC Romo 2023
Domaine des Huards
Cour-Cheverny is the only AOC in France dedicated to the ancient Romorantin grape, and Domaine des Huards is its finest ambassador. This is a wine of place — the chalky soils and continental climate write themselves into every glass. If you've never tried Romorantin, this is where to start.
