The 2009 Falanghina Sannio is a delicious white graced with exquisite aromatics that meld into expressive peaches, mint, flowers and apricots. This shows the gorgeous inner perfume and softness for which Falanghina is so well-known. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014. Mastroberardino is one of the historically significant names in Italian wine. These entry-level selections offer plenty of insight into the unique qualities of Campania’s myriad indigenous red and white grape varieties.A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel.

Crisp and citrusy with supporting aromas of melon and peach, this is a very clean and well put together Falanghina. This luminous white would make a wonderful companion to light salad lunches or smoked salmon carpaccio.——M.L.(6/1/2011)—— 87
