Organic/Bio This old Roman grape is making a comeback in Campania, with wines like this showing why. From a high, cold, vineyard it wraps brisk flavors of dried fig, tart apricot and Clemintine in a blanketing, rich, texture enlivened by firm volcanic soil minerality. A note of bitter almond joins the yellow/orange citrus flavors through flowing, grippy, finish. Plenty of fruit, not at all fruity, dense but mouthwatering, this is captivating and will shine with salty shellfish, creamy ricotta-filled ravioli, and grilled fish.
For you if: You enjoy stony wines like Chablis or Muscadet that have the texture of white Burgundy and a bit of Arneis-like florality at the end; you’re looking for a really “culinary” wine – we’re not sure exactly what that means either, but it seems to fit here.
Not for you if: You’re after a nice mouthful of direct, clean fruit or a wine that finishes smooth – this has noticeable – and delightful! – grip.
