Marco Tinessa Falanghina "Rubice" 2024 (750ml)

Marco Tinessa (O'gnostro) is one of southern Italy's most compelling natural winemakers. A former Milan banker native to Campania, Marco founded O'gnostro in 2007 to safeguard Taurasi's indigenous viticultural heritage. Working organically with old vines in volcanic soils, he ferments spontaneously without temperature control or chemical additions, producing soul-stirring, highly expressive wines.

Falanghina "Rubice" 2024 is sourced from mature Falanghina vines in Campania's volcanic interior. A brief two-day skin contact maceration imparts a beautiful golden tone, gentle phenolic grip, and expanded aromatic depth, aged gently in neutral glass-lined vessels.

Tasting Profile: Luminous golden-amber in the glass. Inviting aromas of white peach, candied citrus peel, yellow orchard fruit, orange blossom, and crushed volcanic minerals. Textural and waxy on the palate, offering crisp citrus acidity, subtle skin contact grip, and a long, sea-spray saline finish.

Serve slightly cool (11–13°C). A standout natural white that pairs wonderfully with grilled octopus, roasted fish, pasta with clams or bottarga, aged goat cheese, and spiced Mediterranean cuisine.
