From the moment you lay your eyes on its rich, honied hue, one thing is clear: our Falanghina is special. Grapes are hand-harvested from a small block of vines in the Clarksburg AVA, where the climate mimics the Italian coast Falanghina calls home. Much like a red wine, we leave the grapes to ferment on the skins to gain structure, weight, and beautiful color. We’re left with a citrusy, bright pour that’s balanced by a pleasant weight courtesy of the skin contact process.

The bouquet on this 2023 Skins fermented Falanghina is a glorious mix of lemon zest, bright dried apricot, ginger, chamomile, some nuanced floral notes, quince, pears and honey.  It has a chalkiness in the background alluding to its time on skins and oxidatively handled fermentation, which adds complexity and intrigue.

This skins fermented Falanghina engages with the senses right from first sight. The rich honied color of the wine immediately invokes the mind of what this could smell and taste like, and what a treat it is!

It’s an excellent option for aperitivo hour, with pairings of olives and whipped ricotta, natural Oysters, or going bold with a spicy Mexican ceviche.
