Falanghina Beneventano IGT 2025

  The Falanghina Beneventano from Villa Raiano in Campania presents itself in the glass in a bright straw yellow color with slight green reflections, which already visually emphasize its freshness and liveliness. The nose reveals a delicate bouquet of white flowers, ripe yellow fruits such as apple, pear, and peach, and subtle citrus notes accompanied by a subtle mineral component. This minerality, characterized by the sandy and calcareous soils of the vineyards around Benevento, gives the wine a characteristic elegance and depth that reflects both the origin and the terroir of this traditional region.

On the palate, Falanghina Beneventano is balanced and lively, with a clear, fresh acidity that harmoniously carries the fruity aromas of peach, apple, and citrus. The texture is soft and smooth, supported by a lingering, mineral finish that further enhances the impression of freshness and purity. Particularly noteworthy is the historical significance of the Falanghina grape, which has been cultivated in Campania since ancient times and is one of the oldest indigenous white wine varieties in southern Italy. This long tradition, combined with the optimal climatic conditions of the hills around Benevento, gives the wine an unmistakable regional identity and an authentic expression of the Campania terroir. - Gerardo [TS10/26]
