Falanghina Campania DOC 2022

  The Falanghina Campania from Casa d'Ambra reflects a clear, sunny straw yellow color with slight greenish reflections in the glass, which already visually captures the bright island sun and the Mediterranean climate of Ischia. The nose reveals an inviting bouquet of white flowers and delicate aromas of peach and apricot, accompanied by subtle citrus notes and a mineral freshness typical of the island's volcanic, chalky, and sandy soils. This characteristic combination of freshness, fruit, and salty minerality immediately refers to the special origin and terroir that make Casa d'Ambra wines so distinctive.

On the palate, Falanghina is balanced and lively, with fine, restrained acidity and an almost creamy texture that gently carries the fruity nuances. The mineral component gives the wine depth and a subtle salty finish that evokes the sea and volcanic soil of Ischia. The Falanghina grape variety itself is one of the oldest and most traditional white wine grapes in Campania—its name is thought to derive from the Latin “falangae,” the stakes to which the vines were once tied. Thanks to its long history and adaptability to the region's special climate and volcanic soil, this wine is an authentic representative of Campania's winegrowing tradition — clear, fresh, and with Mediterranean lightness. - Gerardo [TS10/23]
