Couldn't load pickup availability
Falanghina from our vineyards at 320 metres, hand-picked in the first half of September and made as an Extra Dry sparkling wine. Brilliant straw yellow with golden reflections and a fine, persistent perlage; on the nose white flowers and citrus lead to green apple, white peach and a delicate hint of bread crust.
Fresh and lively on the palate, the pronounced acidity of Falanghina balanced by a creamy mousse; clean, fruity, persistent finish. For aperitifs, seafood starters, raw fish, fried dishes, buffalo mozzarella and pizza. Serve at 6–8 °C.
75 cl bottle. Contains sulphites.

An inherited vineyard, a family, a place
It all began with a small vineyard inherited in the Pietrefitte area, halfway up the Taburno massif. Here we grow only native grapes and vinify only our own fruit, as single varieties.
