Feudi di San Gregorio Fiano di Avellino DOCG 2023
Feudi di San Gregorio
Fiano di Avellino is one of southern Italy's noblest white grapes, and Feudi di San Gregorio has been its most consistent ambassador. The 2023 delivers the grape's signature interplay of fruit richness and mineral tension at a price that makes it an easy recommendation. A serious food wine that punches well above its weight.
Nose
Bright citrus and green apple dominate, with hazelnut and a honeyed quality emerging underneath. A faint floral note and a mineral, almost flinty quality add dimension.
Palate
Medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a surprising richness. Citrus zest and green pear carry through the mid-palate, supported by toasted almond and a hint of white peach. The mineral backbone keeps everything taut and focused.
Finish
Medium-long with lingering citrus, toasted nut, and a clean mineral close.

Food Pairing
Lightly battered and fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with fresh ricotta echo the wine's interplay of richness and acidity — the creamy filling meets the honey and nut notes, while the crisp batter calls for the wine's bright citrus cut.
Founded in 1986 in the hills of Sorbo Serpico, Feudi di San Gregorio revived Campania's ancient grape varieties and helped establish Fiano di Avellino as one of Italy's great white wine appellations.

Pieropan Soave Classico Calvarino 2022
Pieropan
Calvarino is Pieropan's demonstration that Soave can be a wine of real complexity and ageability. The 2022 vintage captures the vineyard's volcanic character with precision, delivering a wine that overperforms its modest price point by a wide margin. This is the kind of bottle that converts Soave skeptics.
Graci Etna Bianco DOC 2023
Graci
Alberto Ferrara's Graci estate farms pre-phylloxera vines at high altitude on Etna's north slope, producing wines of remarkable tension and purity. The 2023 Etna Bianco from Carricante grapes delivers volcanic terroir in the glass — mineral, saline, and vibrating with energy. This is one of Italy's great white wine values.
Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair Bourgogne Blanc Les Charmes 2023
Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair
Thibault Liger-Belair is better known for his Nuits-Saint-Georges reds, but this Bourgogne Blanc demonstrates the same meticulous farming and minimal intervention approach. It's an honest Chardonnay that lets the limestone soils of Burgundy speak clearly. Outstanding value.
Domaine Luneau-Papin Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie Clos des Allées Vieilles Vignes 2023
Domaine Luneau-Papin
Pierre-Marie Luneau farms some of the oldest vines in Muscadet, and Clos des Allées demonstrates why old-vine Melon de Bourgogne deserves serious attention. This is a serious white wine at an unserious price — pure, mineral, and effortlessly food-friendly.
