The 2024 Villa Raiano Falanghina IGT is a vibrant and elegant white from Campania, crafted by one of southern Italy’s leading family-owned wineries. Sourced from hillside vineyards with volcanic and clay-limestone soils, the wine showcases the freshness, aromatic purity and mineral character that have made Falanghina one of Italy’s most exciting indigenous varieties. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve its lively fruit, it is a beautifully balanced expression of the Campanian landscape.
The nose reveals aromas of lemon zest, white peach and green apple alongside delicate white flowers, fresh herbs and subtle mineral notes. The palate is crisp and beautifully textured, with bright citrus and orchard fruit flavours supported by refreshing acidity and a fine saline edge. Fresh, vibrant and elegantly balanced, it finishes long with lingering citrus, floral notes and a distinctive mineral lift.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A wonderfully versatile Italian white that shines alongside fresh seafood, grilled prawns, calamari, pasta with clams, Mediterranean salads and soft cheeses. Serve well chilled and enjoy now through 2028 while its youthful freshness, vibrant fruit and mineral precision are at their best.
