Label / history
In the 1970s, Leonardo Mustilli pioneered the revival of Falanghina as a single-variety wine. Mustilli remains the only Falanghina producer in Sant'Agata dei Goti. In 2004, Leonardo Mustilli published Falanghina with journalist Luciano Pignataro and ampelographer Antonella Monaco, exploring the variety’s origins and the wine’s history and success.
