With Jean and Andrew away visiting her family, I was left to my own devices. Tonight, that meant a dinner of linguine with shrimp in a spicy red sauce. With that, I drank:
2010 Campi Flegrei "La Sibilla" Falanghina nose: floral with an herbaceous element, minerals palate: brisk acidity, seashells, light bodySuch a contrast with an '09 Taburno Falaghina I had last year, this wine, imported by Oliver McCrum, is a refreshing version of the grape (per Oliver, it's grown on a volcanic outflow near Naples, very special terroir).
