About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The Falanghina comes from San Castrese–Sessa Aurunca and Parco Nuovo–Cellole in the province of Caserta. The volcanic soils have good phosphorus and potassium content. The vineyards were planted in various years from 1980 onward, at 4,500 vines per hectare. Training combines single and double Guyot, while cultivation follows low-impact integrated farming practices. Wine yield is 5,500 litres per hectare.
Grapes
100% Falanghina.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested into crates during the first ten days of September. Whole clusters are softly pressed immediately after picking. The first alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled 15°C. The second fermentation is conducted in autoclave according to the Martinotti method.
Ageing
The wine remains in contact with the lees for at least 12 months following its second fermentation in autoclave.
Technical data
