Paternoster Description
Volcanic wines are currently one of the current hot topics in the wine world, and the Vulcanico Falanghina is having its moment in the sun. The name “Vulcanico” highlights the fact that the grapes are harvested from vineyards near the base of Mount Vulture, an extinct volcano. The Vulcanico combines the freshness, balminess and delicacy of the Falanghina grape with the brightness and generosity that one would expect from a white wine from southern Italy.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
The nose is crisp and fresh, with aromas of iced white tea, new leather, finger lime and tulips, while on the palate a strong current of salt creates a savory, rich feel, even as a hot blast of acid keeps you on your toes. -D.C.
