Ep 75 - Falanghina

If you’ve listened to the podcast in recent weeks, you may have noticed a small focus on Italian white wines as well as white wines in general. It’s not that we don’t enjoy reds in the summer, but rather, we wanted to give you some light, crisp wine options for summer instead of the usually sweet wine or Pinot Gris that dominate the shelves in wine shops. So this week we continue that journey into lesser known varieties with a white wine and grape from Southern Italy called Falanghina.

This week's episode we discussed:

• The history of the Falanghina grape
• Campania wine region
• There are actually two different Falanghina grapes!
• Flavor characteristics
• Food pairings
