Irpania Falanghina Clarum

The Falanghina grape is drunk in Campania; the region of Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius, Naples and the beautiful island of Capri. Many winemakers press invigorating, but fairly simple table wines from it. We chose the Falanghina from I Capitani. That's a different story.

I Capitani has its vineyards in Irpania, where the Falanghina shows its most beautiful side. They added a touch of juice from Coda di Volpa - another typical grape from the region - to give the wine more excitement. That worked out great. The nose is intriguing, floral, smoky and spicy. You taste ripe white and yellow fruit with an exciting spiciness of dried sage. Slightly greasy and with nice bitters.
