Fragrant Campanian Falanghina with pineapple, ripe pear and bright freshness

A vibrant southern Italian white made from 100% Falanghina grown on the well-exposed hills of Benevento in Campania. Warm Mediterranean days and cooler nights help preserve the grape’s freshness and aromatic character, while fermentation in stainless steel keeps the fruit beautifully pure. Fragrant and generous without losing its lift, this is a bright, food-friendly expression of one of Campania’s distinctive native grapes.

Tasting Notes: Intense aromas of pineapple are followed by ripe pear and apple. Full-flavoured yet fresh, with a clean, crisp finish.

Food Pairing: Serve as an aperitivo or with Mediterranean salads, roasted white fish, seafood and vegetable antipasti.

ABV: 13.5%

Grape Blend: Falanghina 100%

Region: Campania

Antonio Caggiano is based in Taurasi, in the heart of Campania’s wine country. The estate combines a strong sense of place with modern winemaking, with its striking cellars built from local tufo stone.

ABV: 13.5

Campania

Home to Naples, one of the largest cities in Italy, Campania is the third most populated region in the country. Located on the south-east Mediterranean coast, it is rich in food, architecture and Roman history. One of the most iconic sites in the region is Mount Vesuvius, a volcanic peak that overlooks 3 million inhabitants of Naples. To this day it is considered the most dangerous volcano on earth due to the sheer number of inhabitants below it.

Other than the famous ruined Roman city of Pompeii, the region is arguably home to one of the most widely eaten dishes in the world – pizza. Naples has been regarded the birth place of pizza, with a plain focaccia base having toppings added and the end result being what we have today.

You will also find spaghetti alle vongole (spaghetti with clams), insalata caprese (tomato, mozzarelle and basil salad) and some of the most evocative ingredients in Italy: Amalfi lemons, walnuts from Sorrento and San Marzano tomatoes.
