COPPI FALANGHINA 'GUISCARDO' 2022, Puglia, Italy

The skin contact gives it a lovely texture, and that basil note with the green apple makes it surprisingly refreshing. Perfect for a warm evening.

That stony minerality really comes through on the finish, and the basil note is more pronounced than I expected for a white. It’s got a broad, almost chewy texture from the skin contact, which made it a great match for a simple grilled fish dinner.

The brief skin contact gives it a silky texture you don’t often find in white wines—pairs perfectly with a simple basil pasta. That floral and green apple combo on the nose is subtle but really lifts the whole glass.
