Vesevo Falanghina Beneventano IGP

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

Once arrived at the winery, grapes were carefully selected.To maintain the aromatic characters of Falanghina, the must was chilled immediately in order to achieve settling. The settled must was fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks 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.The wine underwent cold stabilisation and filtration before bottling.
