From the Grower

"This wine leads you in with aromas of orange blossom, lemon rind, and white peach, while the palette entices with hints of chamomile, poached almonds, and crushed oyster shells. A beautiful saline minerality weaves through like a nerve, balanced by bright thirst quenching acidity. It shows a quintessential textured and slightly bitter finish that is a hallmark of Italian whites and keeps us coming back for more. It is a joy to pair with anything fresh off the grill, but we especially love it with the first vegetables of spring and fresh halibut"

Additional Information

"Some of our favorite wines we made in 2021 came from John Siletto and the vineyards he farms around Tres Pinos. In 2022 we added Falanghina to the repertoire and could not be more stoked!

Falanghina is native to the Campania region of Italy where it produces crisp bright white wines that pair with all summer fare. Falanghina thrives in the heat while retaining its aromatics and acidity, making it a great fit for the California Sun. We love the saline nature of this wine and the freshness and lift it provides. You will find this wine at our dinner table all spring and summer long."

About Donkey & Goat

Donkey & Goat was founded in 2004 on ecological principles driving decisions in both the vineyard and the cellar, which was quite a few years before the term Natural Wine was coined in America! Known for being pioneers and one of the first to list ingredients on the label, our wines are handcrafted at our Berkeley winery from organic and biodynamically farmed vineyards in the Sierra Nevada, Mendocino County and Napa Valley. We follow the same ethos in making the wines resulting in wines that are vibrant, alive, and best enjoyed around a table full of food circled with family and friends.
