Description

Bright, elegant and acutely expressive, the 2022 Falanghina from Feudi di San Gregorio offers a compelling balance of aromatic intensity and crisp minerality. It’s friendly and immediate enough to enjoy now yet refined enough to evolve—making it a standout white from Campania. Origins & Craftsmanship This bottling is crafted by Feudi di San Gregorio in the Irpinia region of Campania, Italy, using the indigenous Falanghina grape. The vineyard sits in volcanic and limestone soils at altitude, giving the wine elevated freshness and minerality. The 2022 vintage was handled carefully for aromatic integrity—gentle pressing, cool fermentation, and minimal ageing—to let the varietal character shine through. Critics Reviews James Suckling awarded the 2022 Falanghina a score of 90, noting its “lemon and lime blossom on the nose, a touch of nutmeg, medium body and lightly creamy texture.” Similarly, Wine Enthusiast gave it 90 points, praising its “jasmine and acacia-honey scents underscored by salt and wet stone, lively acidity and a honey-edged texture.”These reviews mark the wine as a high-value example of its category. "A citrus nose of lemon, lime and grapefruit also offers savory notes of tennis ball and wet gravel, and the palate reiterates the citrus medley and stony, savory undertones with a saline edge." 89 Points Wine Enthusiast "This bright and juicy white shows zesty texture on the palate, where flavors of ripe yellow peach and pear, stone and mango are accented by aromatic elderflower and ginger. " 88 Points Wine Spectator Tasting Profile Nose: Fresh and lifted with aromas of lemon zest, lime blossom and subtle nutmeg spice, supported by white orchard flowers. Palate: Medium-bodied, juicy and textural—bright citrus (lemon, lime) combines with early stone-fruit and a precise mineral thread. A hint of honeysuckle or acacia honey adds softness to the frame. Finish: Clean and sustained—wet-stone minerality lingers alongside a refined citrus note, with gentle salinity and a whisper of almond closing the experience.
