2023 Capolino Perlingieri Preta Falanghina

Producer: Capolino Perlingieri 
Region: Campania, Italy  
Varietal: Falanghina 
Year: 2023  

Winemaker Notes: 

"There’s a lot of great Falanghina in the U.S. but this one just has that marcia in più, that extra something special. Its acidity and citrus flavors were zinging last night (paired with burrata). But it was its intense minerality that really made it stand apart in my mind.  It has citrus and herbal notes. It’s a delicious, bright and flavorful white wine; one of Campania’s classic whites." 

About the Wine:  

"Among the great variety of interesting white grape varieties grown in Campania are two different cultivars with the name Falanghina; Falanghina Flegrea from the Campi Flegrei (near Naples), and Falanghina Beneventana, from around Benevento, to the north-east of Naples. Both of these varieties can make delicious, distinctive wines, but the ‘cut’ and minerality of the Beneventana is particularly mouthwatering. Alexia produces the Benevento type of Falanghina. As is the often the case here in Campania, the wines don’t taste like they’re from a warm southern climate, in that they have excellent bright acidity and a strong mineral character."
