Vigna del Monaco Falanghina del Sannio, Taburno, Campagnia, 2020 DOC

This wine is 100% Falanghina, cultivated in a small, espalier-trained (Guyot) vineyard of about 1 hectare, located at 400 meters above sea level with a southwest exposure in the Taburno subzone, near the municipality of Ponte. This hilly area lies on a ridge, with grapevines following the contour lines. The tuffaceous parent rock, slightly emerging, has created medium-textured loose soil, ideal for viticulture. The vineyard's poor fertility and age ensure a low yield of 50 quintals per hectare.

Tasting Notes
This Falanghina features a straw-yellow colour with golden highlights. The elegant and intense nose offers floral aromas of elderflower and hawthorn, fruity notes of ripe apricots and bananas, and balsamic hints. On the palate, it is fresh and tangy, well-balanced and structured, full-bodied and persistent, with a slightly bitter aftertaste, typical of the grape variety. Enjoy the distinctive and refined qualities of this exceptional Falanghina.

Food Pairing Suggestions
The refreshing acidity and well-structured body of this 100% Falanghina make it a perfect match for seafood and Mediterranean cuisine. Its zesty freshness and floral aromas beautifully complement grilled prawns, seabass, and calamari, while its mineral-driven character pairs wonderfully with oysters and shellfish platters. The wine’s fruity and balsamic notes also enhance light pasta dishes, such as lemon and prawn linguine or spaghetti alle vongole, as well as herb-infused risottos. For a traditional Italian pairing, enjoy it with fresh burrata, buffalo mozzarella, or ricotta-based dishes, allowing its balanced acidity to contrast with the creamy textures. Best served chilled, this Falanghina is an excellent choice for elegant al fresco dining or refined appetisers.
