Vesevo Falanghina Beneventano IGT

In a Nutshell

Ripe and fruity - a great summer drinker

Tasting Notes

Low temperature fermentation has retained the fresh, crisp and aromatic quality of the wine whilst still allowing its character to shine through. Perfumes of white flowers and white melon with mineral notes provide a backdrop to the full, ripe palate, and lift the finish. An elegant wine, with a lingering touch of honey.

Production Notes

The flavours obtained in the vineyard were then preserved in the winery. The must was chilled immediately and fermented at (12-14°C). The wine remained in stainless steel tanks until bottling, with no oak and no malolactic fermentation. Lees stirring took place to impart more flavour and body to the wine.
