Falanghina Beneventano: Falanghina is a very ancient wine, dating prior to Roman times. As in ancient times, today its grapes are grown in the southern Italian region of Campania. The region is renowned for the bay of Naples, for the former Maritime Republic of Amalfi, and for the ancient cities of Pompei and Ercolano. The soil in this region is very rich due to its volcanic origins and grapes grow healthy and strong in a mild weather, perfect for wine production. The Falanghina grapes are white and the wine that these grapes produce maintains its organoleptic characteristics even when the grapevines are cultivated in different areas. The grapes have been called different names throughout the centuries: Fallanghina , Uva Falerna , Biancuzita , Falerno Veronese , Falanghina Verace .
Varietal : the Falanghina grapes are perfectly suited for this part of Italy and the wine reflects the location and weather more than in any other type of wine.
