● The wine: Terredora di Paolo Falanghina 2004
region: Campania

Drink it!
This straw-colored white wine is bursting with flavors of Golden Delicious apples, pears and pineapple, with a hint of candied lemon. Campania’s ancient Falanghina grape presents great acidity here, and finishes with a subtle undertone of mineral and stone.
Pair it!
In honor of Campania’s expansive coastline, try the pale Falanghina with seafood pasta in a light cream sauce.

● The wine: Librandi Cirò Rosso Riserva Duca San Felice DOC 2001
region: Calabria

Drink It!
One of Calabria’s most significant DOC wines is Cirò, named for a town on the Ionian coast that dates back to the ancient Greeks. According to local legend, Cirò descended directly from Krimisa, the wine that Calabrian athletes drank to celebrate their victories at the Olympic Games.
The Librandi wine estate, which has been managed by ten generations of the Bressan family, is located in Ciró Marina. Situated between the sea and the Sila Mountains, the area is ideal for growing grapes.
This Riserva is made from 100% Gaglioppo: a robust and hearty native grape that thrives in the hot, dry conditions of southern Italy. It’s a full-bodied wine with fruity aromas followed by hints of chocolate and spicy flavors.
Pair It!
Pair this flavorful wine with stewed or braised meats, or a hearty risotto.
