This bottle was a thoughtful gift from my family, brought back from their recent trip to Italy. It’s always special to receive a wine with a little story behind it. A glimpse of a place through someone else’s travels.
I opened the Falanghina on a quiet afternoon, curious to discover its character. From the very first sip, it was bright and refreshing. The kind of wine that instantly transports you to sunlit vineyards in southern Italy. Elegant yet approachable, it has a crisp, aromatic quality that made it perfect for enjoying on its own or paired with something simple.
Moments like this remind me that wine isn’t just about flavour. It’s about connection, too.
