2003 Mastroberardino Falanghina Sannio. I've always enjoyed Falanghina wines, but this has been my first from the Sannio DOC. In a word, this wine was glorious. Loaded with minerals, flowers, crisp citrus, and loads of acidity. The aromas are a feast for the nose -- like a walk in the garden after a rain. There's a big acid strike when the wine enters the mouth, and almost tingling quality, from which lemon zest, honeysuckle, and a ton of minerals dance. I typically have a hard time finding a wine that goes very well with shrimp, but this was a very good match for simply grilled shrimp. Gotta get me some more.
