[TN] '10 La Sibilla Falanghina

Aug 19, 2012 2 Replies

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 body

Such 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).

Not had the La Sibilla, but imported by Oliver McCrum is always a good sign! Though of course he is mostly West Coast.

Yes, this bottle I picked up when in California last week. It doesn't hurt that Oliver brought a bottle of the '08 La Sibilla to a dinner in Oakland 3-4 years ago -- hand selling at its best!
