Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina del Sannio DOC 2023
Feudi di San Gregorio
Feudi di San Gregorio's Falanghina is a summer wine with purpose. The volcanic soils of Campania — heat stored in stone and ash — give Falanghina its distinctive mineral edge, while the 2023 vintage delivers the freshness the grape demands. Uncomplicated but never simple, it's a reminder that great value can come from ancient terroir.
Nose
Bright citrus — lemon and grapefruit — leads, with white flowers and a clean minerality underneath. A hint of green apple and fresh-cut grass adds crispness.
Palate
Light-bodied and bracing, with lemon curd and pear on the entry. The midpalate reveals a subtle honeyed quality balanced by crisp acidity and a faint almond-skin bitterness. Clean and focused throughout.
Finish
Short to medium, finishing dry with a lingering citrus zest and mineral snap.

Lightly battered and fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with fresh ricotta and a touch of anchovy — the wine's citrus acidity cuts through the richness while its floral and mineral notes echo the blossoms' delicate flavor.
Founded in 1986 in Sorbo Serpico, Feudi di San Gregorio has led the revival of Campania's indigenous grape varieties, farming Falanghina vines on the volcanic slopes of the Sannio appellation near Naples.

Famille Hugel Gewürztraminer Alsace 2022
Famille Hugel
Hugel's estate-level Gewürztraminer is an ideal entry into the grape — aromatic and expressive without tipping into heaviness. The 2022 vintage shows purity of fruit and the benefit of Alsace's continental climate, where warm days and cool nights preserve acidity in a variety that can lose it. This is the bottle to pair with spiced cuisine or to enjoy on its own as an education in aromatics.
Domaine Bott-Geyl Riesling Grand Cru Mandelberg 2022
Domaine Bott-Geyl
Bott-Geyl's biodynamic approach to the Mandelberg vineyard yields a Riesling of remarkable purity. This is a wine that tastes like its origin — limestone, sun, and the careful hand of a grower who trusts the vine to speak for itself. Grand Cru Alsace at a price that remains approachable.
Grüner Veltliner Federspiel
Rudi Pichler
Rudi Pichler's meticulous terraced Wachau vineyards yield a Federspiel that punches well above its modest price. This is a wine that earns its place through sheer craft—transparent, site-driven, and quietly compelling. A benchmark for the category and a reminder that trust is built vintage after vintage.
Nikolaihof Grüner Veltliner Hefeabzug 2023
Nikolaihof
Nikolaihof's Hefeabzug is Grüner Veltliner at its most direct — biodynamically farmed, fermented in old oak, and bottled early to capture the grape's fresh, peppery character. At this price, it's one of the Wachau's best introductions.
