Falanghina del Benevento

Falanghina is grown above all in hilly areas characterized by a hot and very dry climate and is characterized by the size of its clusters, oblong or rounded and the berries with thick and robust skin.

The vinification of the grapes and the aging of the wines takes place mostly in steel and not wooden containers, to protect the aromatic fragrance of the wines.

The wine obtained from Falanghina in purity has a warm straw yellow color with slight greenish reflections.

The nose has light floral notes, fruity and mineral aromas, due to the volcanic origin of the cultivation soils.

On the palate the flavor is soft, fresh, delicate and with excellent acidity.

The dry version of Falanghina is tasted taking care to uncork the bottle half an hour before to favor the oxygenation of any reduction notes due to the winemaking process. Tasting temperature, 10-12 ° C.

Falanghina passita requires slightly lower temperatures, around 8-10 ° C.
