One of Campania‘s oldest grape varieties, Falanghina is predominantly used in blends.
There are at least two genetically distinct types of Falanghina: Falanghina Flegrea and Falanghina Beneventana.
Known for its naturally high acidity, Falanghina is well-suited for the production of sparkling wines.

Wines crafted with Falanghina Beneventana typically exhibit greater structure and alcohol content, often characterized by floral nuances. In contrast, those made with Falanghina Flegrea tend to showcase a fruit-forward profile, offering flavors and aromas reminiscent of unripe peach, apple, apricot kernel, and cherry pit.
Regardless of the specific variety, all Falanghina wines share a distinctive leafy, chlorophyll note that adds to their characteristic charm.
