Vesevo, Beneventano Falanghina, Campania

The classic Southern Italian white wine grape from the Irpinian hills of Campania; Falanghina is best desctribed as a semi-aromatic variety.  This example shows pronounced ripe peach aromas and balancing acidity providing length and freshness on the palate.  The wine is medium-bodied, well balanced, with a long, flavoursome finish.  The terraced vineyards, planted between 450 and 700 metres above sea level, are subjected to a constant cool breeze that blows off the Bay of Naples. Over the centuries, this same breeze has blown volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius inland, creating calcareous and basaltic soils rich in phosphorus and potassium. ABV 12.5%
