Azienda Agricola Agnanum di Raffaele Moccia, Campania, Italy

2012

Falanghina Flegrea (100%)

“Savoury, moorish palate with orchard and stone fruit. There is a stylish but faded grandeur about its evolution. Delicious, ethereal orchard fruit on the palate brought back to life by refreshing salinity and the complex scents of wild herb. Long, indulgent length.”

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.”
