Falanghina 'Fra' Cantina Giardino 2021

Cantina Giardino's Falanghina 'Fra' is the new and surprising creature from the legendary winery in Ariano Irpino, capable of redefining the usual judgment parameters. We do not exaggerate in saying that we are faced with an expressive unicum and, although with the liquids bottled by Antonio di Gruttola, this happens often enough, we feel bound to say that a Falanghina so enthralling and vital has never before been produced. A true cult for artisanal wine lovers, Cantina Giardino, was founded in 2003 by a group of friends who have always shared passion, intentions and views and decided to take over a few vineyards in Ariano Irpino, where Aglianico, Greco, Fiano and Falanghina are the masters. Intimate and uncompromising wines, capable like few others of emotionally involving those who approach them, leaving an indelible mark in the memory.

Fra' Falanghina is obtained from pure grapes of the vine of the same name, from vineyards cultivated with rather basic yields and located at an altitude of approximately 400 metres. In the vineyard, human intervention is almost totally limited, leaving nature to express itself and accompanying all processes ''only'' with vigilant care. We proceed consistently in the cellar, with spontaneous alcoholic fermentation and maceration on the skins for 5 days. The liquid matures for 10 months in chestnut barrels and 2 months in the bottle.

The Falanghina 'Fra' wine presents itself in the glass with an intense, bright yellow colour. A nose of enormous expressiveness, impactful in its sensations that recall citrus peel, aromatic herbs, verbena, and an almost spicy pungency typical of the winery's wines. As always, the palate is driven by a refreshing freshness and a saline edge while not renouncing flesh and fruit. Authentic juice of terroir.
