Origin and terroir

This Falanghina comes from Campania, a region with a long wine tradition and a diverse landscape. The vineyards are situated on hilly terrain with volcanic influences and calcareous soils. This results in wines with minerality and tension. The climate is Mediterranean, with warm days and cooling influences from the mountains and the sea. As a result, the grapes retain their freshness while ripening optimally. This balance defines the style of the wine.

Grapes and vineyard management

The wine is made from 100% Falanghina, a grape known for its aromatic expression and fresh acidity. The vineyards are carefully managed with a focus on low yields and healthy grapes. The harvest is done by hand to ensure quality. The combination of terroir and meticulous vineyard management results in a wine of purity and character.

Vinification and aging

After the harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented at a controlled temperature to preserve aromatic freshness. Vinification focuses on precision and pure fruit. The wine then ages partly on the fine lees, where sur lie aging provides extra texture and a soft structure. This approach gives the wine more depth without losing its fresh character.

Color, smell and taste

The wine has a clear, light yellow color with a fresh appearance. The aroma reveals notes of citrus zest and spicy accents, combined with ripe apricot. On the palate, a soft, almost silky texture follows, with flavors of apple and ripe melon. The wine remains dry and fresh, with an elegant finish featuring subtle floral and tropical nuances.

Style and character

This Falanghina is a fine example of the balance between ripeness and freshness. The wine has a round structure but remains lively due to its acidity. The style is accessible, yet possesses sufficient depth and detail to remain interesting. This makes it suitable for both immediate consumption and a short aging period.

Volume

The 2025 vintage in Campania displays a beautiful balance between ripe fruit and fresh acidity. The conditions resulted in aromatic grapes with good structure. This Falanghina is immediately accessible but retains sufficient tension to develop further in the coming years. Drink from now until approximately 2028.

Food and wine pairings

This wine is very suitable as an aperitif, but also comes into its own with light dishes. Think of shellfish, grilled fish, or salads with citrus and herbs. This Falanghina also pairs excellently with vegetarian dishes and light pastas. The fresh acidity and soft structure make it versatile.
