2014 Puglia Falanghina

Valentina Passalacqua's Cosicome is a captivating 2014 Falanghina from the sun-soaked region of Puglia. This delightful white wine showcases a beautiful, pale golden hue that glimmers in the glass. On the nose, it bursts with vibrant aromas of citrus fruits and refreshing floral notes, inviting you to take a sip. The palate is incredibly well-balanced, boasting a medium-bodied structure that perfectly complements its lively acidity, delivering a mouthwatering experience. Each sip reveals layers of zesty lemon and juicy pear, intermingling harmoniously with subtle hints of almond and minerality, which reflect the unique terroir of Puglia. It concludes with a clean, bright finish, making this wine not only delightful on its own but incredibly food-friendly, pairing wonderfully with seafood dishes or light pasta. Overall, Valentina Passalacqua's Cosicome is a charming expression of Falanghina that embodies the essence of its region.

Puglia
Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
