Description

From the Campantuono vineyard

This is our white version of the Falerno DOC, conceived only in 1989. After years of research and experimentation, we believe we have gained the necessary experience to produce a wine that aspires to be highly recognizable and appreciable, even when compared to the best Campanian white wines. Here too, we chose to vinify a single varietal, namely Falanghina. Due to the unique exposure and geographical location of Falciano del Massico, we chose to use 50% Beneventano and Campi Flegrei clones, thus providing greater balance between fruit and freshness. A wine to drink now, but also one of the new generation of white wines aspiring to be aged for up to 10 years.
