Description
Cantina Giardino Fra Falanghina 2021
Cantina Giardino Fra Falanghina is frabulous! Intense gold colour. Enveloping nose of verbena, citrus, aromatic herbs and rocks. Fresh and salty palate with a crunchy acidity. Grapefruit and lemon citrus flavours over a backbone of rocky minerals, martini olives and a hint of bitter almonds.
100% Falanghina. The fruit comes from a parcel of 30-year-old vines planted around 350 metres above sea level in Benevento in the volcanic soils of Mount Taburno.
Four days maceration on skins, ages for 10 months in chestnut tonneaux. No filtering before bottling.
