Vigneti Tardis, Fratelli Felix Bianco, Campania, Italy

Jack Lewins, former sommelier and now the co-owner of Leroy in Shoreditch, and Bruno (Mr Aglianico) de Concillis are the two driving forces behind Vigneti Tardis. Cilento is a region of Campania around two hours drive south of Naples. While quite mountainous inland there is a strong coastal influence on the wines, particularly in the case of may of Vigneti Tardis wines which come mainly from a steeply sloping vineyard a few metres from the Mediterranean. While it may share the same varietals as nearby Taurasi and Avellino as a territory it differs greatly and in a region famed for its big, powerful wines Vigneti Tardis are offering a much more delicate alternatives.

The Fratelli Felix is a fresh blend of Fiano and Falanghina that's had a couple of days of skin contact giving it a yellow rather than orange colour and providing a little grip. Tropical fruit aromas of lychee and peach alongside citrus and honeysuckle. Bone dry with a chalky texture and a little salty.
