Rocca Vecchia Falanghina from Puglia is a delightful white wine that embodies the essence of this sun-drenched Italian region. With a medium body, it presents a wonderfully balanced profile that highlights the varietal's natural acidity, offering a refreshing and crisp experience on the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing vibrant notes of citrus and stone fruit that dance harmoniously together, while a subtle floral undertone adds depth to its character. This Falanghina is bone dry, making it an invigorating choice for a warm afternoon or a charming dinner gathering. Its charm and elegance truly reflect the rich terroir of Puglia, inviting wine lovers to savor every sip.

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.
