NOTES FROM OUR SOMMELIERS

👁 of a beautiful straw yellow with golden reflections;

👃🏻 the nose expresses an intense and complex bouquet. The scents recall white flowers (blossom above all), citrus fruits and ripe tropical fruit, with hints of honey on a marine background;

👄 on the palate it is very expressive and completely territorial: fresh, juicy, mineral. Persistent and elegant finish.

FOOD PAIRINGS

A white with great personality, fresh and fruity, savory and decidedly mineral. It requires equally elegant combinations.

WINE-MAKING AND REFINEMENT

The mild and temperate climate of the Gulf of Naples favors perfect ripening of the grapes which therefore offer an extraordinary aromatic richness.

Falanghina dei Campi Flegrei trained according to the guyot system on volcanic soils exposed to the west, still ungrafted. Fermentation in steel, 6 months on the fine lees in steel and at least another 6 in bottles.

its personality.

ORIGIN

TERROIR

The territory of Campi Flegrei is located in one of the most beautiful volcanic areas in Italy, in Campania, north of Naples. The origins of viticulture in the region date back to 700 BC, when falanghina was used to produce Falerno wine, much sought after by Roman patricians.

The white wines of the Campi Flegrei are still based today for the most part on falanghina. The vines are cultivated with putuelana or pozzolana, an ancient form of training of the vine in which it was supported by a phalanx (i.e. an espalier). The Mediterranean climate and the hills, with the presence of refreshing breezes and volcanic soils, porous and rich in minerals, are ideal conditions for growing vines. The Campi Flegrei DOC wines are characterized by an excellent fragrance, fruity and delicate notes, with a strong body. The most important black grape variety is the Piedirosso. This grape produces red wines with a light and juicy character, with aromatic nuances. Another black grape variety is Aglianico, brought to Campania by the Greeks.

The Campi Flegrei obtained the DOC classification in 1994 and the wine production extends over seven municipalities: Procida, Pozzuoli, Bacoli, Monte di Procida and Quarto, as well as those of Marano and Naples. The islands of Procida and Ischia are also included in the denomination area. A great fortune here is that the vineyards have always been immune to phylloxera, thanks to the volcanic soil on which the vines are grown. The composition of the soil, rich in ash, lapilli, tuff and various microelements, kept the parasite away.

Naples boasts an enviable record: that of being, after Vienna, the second city for hectares of vineyards in Europe. There are about sixty hectares distributed within the urban boundaries, located between the vineyards of Santo Strato in Posillipo, the crater of Agnano, the hills of Camaldoli and Chiaiano and the Scudillo area. Areas inserted in a landscape of incomparable beauty, in which man and nature have found perfect coexistence over the centuries. The second characteristic, which makes these metropolitan vineyards truly unique, is that they sink their roots into a territory which, together with its province, is one of the few areas in the world where ungrafted cultivation is preserved (without rootstock of the American vine), thanks to the volcanic genesis of the soil. A rarity that, in recent years, is increasingly appreciated because it is able to preserve the purity of the vines and the historical memory of the ancient forms of vitis vinifera training.
