Falanghina IGT
- Description
Pietracupa’s Falanghina is a white wine that speaks of the territory of Irpinia. It is fresh and great drinking, perfect for accompanying fish appetizers. The nose is reminiscent of jasmine, lily and tropical fruit. The sip is balanced, creamy, smooth supported by an excellent savory shoulder
Falanghina from the Pietracupa winery is a fresh and elegant white wine produced in Montefredane, in the province of Avellino, Campania. This territory, known as Irpinia, is a place with unique characteristics in the entire region; in fact, the high altitude and wide temperature range give rise to conditions that are atypical for a southern viticulture and capable of producing specimens of great refinement in both fragrance and drinkability. This label is made from pure Falanghina grapes, a white grape variety indigenous to the region, from espalier-trained vines on hillsides, with excellent exposures, characterized by soils with predominantly calcareous soils
The Pietracupa project starts from the primary objective of providing an authentic and genuine expression of the great white wines that have always distinguished the Campania wine scene, among which Fiano d’Avellino stands out
ThatIrpinia could give fresh, rich and fragrant wines was long known, but that interpretations of exceptional complexity, longevity, authentically mineral and very high quality could come out of it few suspected. The credit, to be shared with few other wineries in the area, certainly goes to Sabino Loffredo, a man with a disruptive personality, who has always sought comparison with the world’s greatest white wines. The winery’s story begins when Peppino Loffredo took over a property on the hill of Montefredano, near Avellino, in the early 1970s. A return to the countryside, his, made for the sake of producing some fiano for himself and his close friends.
