The perfect summer book paired with a refreshing summer wine: these are the vibes I’m bringing with me into the weekend, summer Fridays, and vacation month (always August, in my mind).

I’ve joined Novel Pairings, a monthly book club that pairs suggested wines with that month’s novel. For July’s book club, we read The Amalfi Curse by Sarah Penner. The suggested pairing was a Campanian white: tthink Fiano, Greco di Tufo, Falanghina. I knew right away which wine I was picking: Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina.

The Falanghina grape is native to Italy’s southern Campania region and makes a bright, vibrant wine you’ll want to sip poolside, or off the Costiera Amalfitana, if you’re lucky. It’s an easy-drinking wine with notes of white flowers, peach, and just-ripe mango that’s essential to sip alongside an easy summer reading like The Amalfi Curse.

The Amalfi Curse is a dual-timeline historical fiction and modern-day mystery. The protagonist, a nautical archeologist, is spending her summer scuba-diving for shipwrecks off the Amalfi Coast. It had me dreaming of immersing myself in Mediterranean waters, but I had to be content with my apartment and a glass of Feudi’s Falanghina, while planning my own summer getaway.

Feudi di San Gregorio is one of Campania’s pre-eminent wineries, and their focus is on native Campanian varieties. The first time I visited Naples—which is not so far from the Amalfi Coast—was also during a trip to the Feudi di San Gregorio winery (it’s gorgeous; make the trip if you’re in the area and get a taste of an entirely different side to Campania than the hordes of tourists in Positano!). Memories of Vesuvio, which makes a cameo in the book, sea salt winds, vacationing Italians, and tourists came back to me as I read it. It was hard to pull myself out of that headspace when I’d finished the book, clearly, as I quickly went onto a novel by Elena Ferrante. Very different vibes, but it let me linger in Campania for a little bit longer.

And when I’m done with that, I’ll just pop open another Feudi di San Gregorio wine, may their San Greg Rosato.
