Falanghina del Sannio DOC “Facetus” Vendemmia Tardiva Taburno
Falanghina del Sannio DOC “Facetus” Vendemmia TardivaTaburno
Fontanavecchia, Campania, Italy
2015 2012 2010
Falanghina Beneventana (100%)
“Attractive golden colour, with an intense nose characterised by ripe peach and citrus rind. This is concentrated, with an oily texture. Acidity and alcohol have retreated into the background slightly and some faint, attractive notes of oxidisation creep through to deliver a succulent but mellow wine. An excellent accompaniment to blue sheep’s cheese or sweet pastries.”

Falanghina del Sannio DOC “Libero” Taburno

Falanghina Beneventana (100%)
“Noticeably lighter than the late harvest ‘Facetus’, this shows attractive citrus fruit leading toward fleshy stone fruit. As a result of a 20% fermentation and six month maturation in new barrique it shows plenty of power and body. Strong alcohol and good levels of acidity. Some peach and melon on the finish, with restrained oak character. A juicy, succulent expression with good ageing potential.”
88 Paul Caputo
