Fontanavecchia BjondoRe Taburno Falanghina de Sannio

Fontanavecchia’s BjondoRe Falanghina del Sannio is a Tre Bicchieri worthy expression of Campania’s famed Falanghina grape, crafted in the undulating hills of Benevento within the Sannio DOC; a region celebrated for its elevated vineyards and ancient viticultural heritage. The vines are rooted in clay-limestone soils at varying altitudes, contributing both ripeness and tension to the wine. Fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve purity, this Falanghina is strikingly aromatic, offering notes of green apple, ripe pear, lemon zest, white peach, and citrus blossoms, all framed by subtle hints of chamomile and crushed stone. On the palate, it delivers a balance of juicy fruit and zesty acidity, with a slight salinity from to the region’s ancient marine deposits and contributes to a lingering, mouthwatering finish. Light to medium in body with a clean, polished texture, it is both refreshing and structured.  It is an excellent companion to raw shellfish, fried anchovies, pasta alle vongole, or grilled vegetables. This bottling exemplifies Fontanavecchia’s craft, translating terroir into glass with an elegance and vibrancy that make Falanghina del Sannio one of Southern Italy’s most compelling white wines.
