Falanghina

This wine is generally light- to medium-bodied with lively acidity and a clean, refreshing profile. It emphasizes aromatic purity and mineral tension, often showing a balance of juicy fruit and zesty freshness. The style highlights elegance and drinkability, shaped by Campania’s warm climate and elevated vineyard sites.

Winemaking process

The wine is produced from hand-harvested Falanghina grapes grown in clay-limestone soils at moderate elevations. Fermentation typically takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel to preserve freshness, aromatics, and varietal character, with minimal or no oak influence.

Tasting notes

On the nose, it typically shows aromas of green apple, pear, lemon zest, and white peach, often accompanied by citrus blossom, chamomile, and subtle mineral notes. On the palate, the wine is dry and vibrant, offering fresh orchard fruit flavors, bright acidity, and a clean finish that can show light salinity and minerality.

Food pairings

Fontana Vecchia Falanghina pairs well with seafood, raw shellfish, fried fish, pasta with clams, grilled vegetables, and light Mediterranean dishes. Its crisp acidity and refreshing character complement delicate flavors and simple preparations.
