Contrada Salandra is a tiny estate in Pozzuoli making interesting wines in the volcanic soils of the Campi Flegrei. Giuseppe Fortunato only produces about 1700 cases a year from Falanghina Flegrea and Piedirosso.
“Very delicate, subtle, refined, complex. In the mouth it is soft, approachable. Decent wine. Never shouts, but maintains its gentle expression. Some broom, flowers, yellow fruit, peach. The palate is lightly polished, elegant, with faint citrus and wild herb. Slight hints of salinity likely to evolve into a more prominent characteristic with age.”
