Quintodecimo Via del Campo Falanghina Irpinia DOC 2022

Quintodecimo Via del Campo Falanghina Irpinia DOC 2022

Via del Campo perfectly expresses all the fruity and mineral character of Falanghina. It is a cru made exclusively with grapes from a single Falanghina vineyard located in Mirabella Eclano.

Varietal: Falanghina

Production area: Mirabella Eclano (VIA DEL CAMPO vineyard, Piano dei Greci locality).

Altitude: 360 meters above sea level.

Exposure: west. Soil: clay/limestone.

Planting density: 4,000 vines per hectare.

Cultivation and pruning system: simple horizontal counter-espalier with Guyot pruning.

Yield: 1.8 kg per strain

Harvest time: late September – first decade of October, hand-picked in small 15 kg crates at full aromatic ripeness of grapes.

Vinification: after a long pressing of whole clusters, the draining must, strictly protected from oxygen, is separated from the press must and clarified by natural sedimentation. Fermentation takes place 70% in stainless steel vats and 30% in new oak barrels. This is followed by an eight-month period of elevage on fine lees regularly resuspended in the wine.

Organoleptic characteristics:

• Sight: presents bright golden yellow hues.
• Nose: Aromas ranging from notes of apple, pineapple, herbs and wildflowers to refined briny and mineral tones.
• Taste: the structure, enveloping, releases delicate mentholated and toasted sensations arising also from the short stay, during fermentation, in small oak barrels.
