ORNETA FALANGHINA 2024

Orneta's Campania Falanghina comes from southeast-facing vineyards at 300 meters elevation in Benevento's medium-mixture soils, where the ancient Roman grape variety benefits from the terroir that stretches between the Sabato, Calore, and Ofanto Rivers in Irpinia's strategic position between the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian Seas. Founded just five years ago by three passionate families—Pannese, Pizzano, and Cerullo—this estate cultivates 20 hectares across Campania's most prestigious districts at 500-600 meters altitude, honoring the territory's rich agri-food heritage. This pale straw yellow wine with greenish reflections displays fresh, fruity aromatics of citrus, green apple, kiwi, and white flowers, delivering marked acidity in perfect balance with the wine's structure that showcases the noble character of this ancient variety once grown in Naples' Royal Botanical Garden.
