Bought last bottle on sale for this stunning price, I love the wine, the color, the nose, the taste. We had first bottle of Falanghina 2002 vintage in September 2009, then knowing the wine I bought a case of 2007 vintage tasted several times thorough the time having special requests from my girlfriend to open this wine during the year asking naive quastion what would like to have (anything)?. Then I needed to go and dick the Falanghina in the cellar:-). This vintage is stunning I only regret when I got to the open door of the importer this was the last bottle:-(. Somehow the old world has still something to say. I wish new world whites would age like this.
