Falanghina Beneventana

Falanghina Beneventana is a white grape variety grown in Campania. It has been officially proven as distinct to Falanghina Flegrea but we will like have to wait some years before producers start to articulate which type of Falanghina they have planted. Beneventana is perhaps the more common. Depending on the producer it gives wines that range from simple to complex.

Falanghina Beneventana

Falanghina, grown in the hills of Sannio, is capable of producing some very good wines. The key to success is striking the balance between freshness, and the very intense stone fruit and floral flavours the variety is capable of. For me, oak isn't needed here and the wines are best when produced to be young and fruity. The best will age with dignity without needing any help from wood. Azienda Agricola Mustilli are worth searching out for their wines from the Sannio sub zone of Sant'Agata del Goti. Fontanavecchia stands out as producing some of the most age worthy expressions.
