Pandataria is a wine I tasted during #campaniastories2023 in May with @vincenzo_mercurio_enologo and is a delicious and intriguing blend of all three of #campania most famous white grape varieties: Fiano, Falanghina and Greco made on the island of Ventotene. The ancient name for Ventotene was Pandataria. It is an island just off the coast at the border of #lazio and #campania. Pandataria is a dry white, medium bodied with no obvious signs of oak. For a white it is quite deeply coloured lemon-yellow as often typical of these varieties. The aromas and flavours are a combination of wild herbs, orange zest and tangy, salty, minerality – like it’s been kissed by a sea breeze with a squeeze of grapefruit pithiness on the finish.
