Vesevo Falanghina Beneventano IGP

In a Nutshell

Ripe and fruity - a great summer drinker

Tasting Notes

Bright straw yellow in colour, the Falanghina 2020 has intense perfumes of white flowers and white melon with mineral notes that provide a backdrop to the full, ripe palate. A ripe and rounded wine, with a lingering touch of honey on the finish.

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.
