📜 Falanghina del Sannio
Fresh white wines from Falanghina from the province of Benevento.
Falanghina del Sannio is a white wine with a protected name from Campania in southern Italy. It is made in the province of Benevento, in the Sannio area, from the Falanghina grape. The name says where the wine comes from: Sannio is a historic district within Campania.
Falanghina is an ancient white grape. The wine is pale and fresh, with citrus and floral notes and good acidity. This is the best-known type, but the rules of the name also allow others, including sparkling and sweet wines. The still white wine is drunk young and chilled, with fish, seafood and light starters.
The vineyards lie on hills around Benevento. Days are warm and nights cooler, which helps the grapes keep their acidity and aroma.
As with many Italian wines, the name is protected: genuine Falanghina del Sannio is made only in this area under agreed rules. Alcohol is for adults and best taken in moderation.
