Staff Pick Notes

Yummmm. This hazy natural Falanghina from Puglia sees 5 days of skin contact and is a gorgeous deep orange in the glass. Born of calcerous limestone soils from which the vineyard gets its name, it's a juicy, accessible orange wine fit for many occasions. Pleasant notes of tangerine, melon, apricot, great texture and acidity, just delicious. Great for white meat or vegetarian dishes, and would stand alone beautifully as well. Nice intro to orange wine for the skeptics, but a real treat for all natural wine lovers: native yeasts, unfined and unfiltered, low in sulfites. Get on it!
