CAMPANIA IGT - FALANGHINA PASSITO - CAMPANIA
One of the Di Meo family's "wines of the heart": a passito of Falanghina from the Campi Flegrei, the grapes air-dried on racks for four months before vinification. Long aging in bottle gives a dessert wine that is rich but never cloying.
Grape variety
100% Falanghina dei Campi Flegrei, air-dried on racks.
Vineyards of origin
Family vineyards in Bacoli, Campi Flegrei (Naples), at about 30 meters above sea level, with south-west exposure.
Soil: Sandy, of volcanic origin, rich in ash and lapilli.
Training system: Double Guyot.
Season in the field: Manual harvest.
Vinification
The grapes are dried by ventilation on racks for four months (appassimento) before fermentation.
Aging: Three years in bottle.
Tasting notes
Deep golden to amber color. On the nose, dried fruit and flowers, jam, beeswax and iodine notes. Residual sugar is moderate (135 g/l): on the palate, full and enveloping, never cloying.
Pairings
Dry biscuits, nuts and dried fruit, aged cheeses.
Alcohol content and serving temperature
Alcohol content: 15% Vol.
Serving Temperature: 10 - 12°C.
Bottle size: 50 cl.
