The wine region of Falanghina del Sannio
Campanian DOC covering all of Benevento province (Sannio, DOC 2011): Falanghina Beneventana signature white king (≥85%) — indigenous with Roman roots, full-bodied and tangy profile with fresh, mineral aromas, fruit-forward perfume of pine, lime, thyme, pine nuts, white flowers and spicy touch. Altitude clay-limestone (200-650 m) and volcanic soils mixed with sandstone, Mediterranean climate with cool nights, still, sparkling and passito styles.
The wine region of Campania
Cradle of southern Italy's great wines on volcanic soils. Majestic Aglianico in red: structured, deep and tannic with notes of black cherry, candied plum, leather and spices, sublimated in age-worthy Taurasi DOCG, the "Barolo of the south". Identity whites of Irpinia: opulent Fiano di Avellino (honey, hazelnut), mineral iodine Greco di Tufo, aromatic Falanghina (peach, flowers). Also supple Piedirosso.
The word of the wine: Solera
A method of maturing practiced in Andalusia for certain sherries, which aims to continuously blend older and younger wines. It consists of stacking several layers of barrels; those located at ground level (solera) contain the oldest wines, the youngest being stored in the barrels on the upper level. The wine to be bottled is taken from the barrels on the lower level, which is replaced by younger wine from the upper level, and so on.
