Falanghina is an ancient grape, cultivated in Campo Flegrei, in the province of Naples and in the area of Mount Taburno near Benevento. The name derives from the word falanga which describes the local, traditional pole used for supporting the vines. The vineyards are south-east facing at between 250 and 300 metres above sea level and the vines are around 10 years old. The grapes are hand-harvested in the second half of September. Following a soft pressing, fermentation occurs at a controlled temperature for 15-20 days using selected yeasts, in stainless steel. The resulting wine stays on the lees for one month, with three months overall maturation before filtration and bottling. 

This straw yellow Falanghina is an excellent summer wine; dry, fruity and very refreshing with notes of tangy citrus but also sweeter tropical hints of pineapple and white peach. The good acidity keeps the wine balanced and refreshes the palate. 

This wine is ideal as an aperitif and also matches particularly well with seafood and shellfish. With main dishes, it is a lovely accompaniment to white meats, vegetbales and fresh cheeses.
