Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, dry
Falanghina is an ancient Campanian variety, possibly the grape behind the Falernian wine the Romans prized, and Irpinia is where it shows most seriously. This is the hilly interior of Campania east of Naples — higher, cooler and more continental than the coast, on volcanic and clay-limestone soils, and the same territory that produces Fiano di Avellino and Taurasi. Terredora are among the zone's established houses, founded by a branch of the Mastroberardino family. Expect citrus, green apple and white peach with white flowers over a saline, faintly smoky minerality, carried by brisk acidity. Falanghina is generally drunk young, but from Irpinia it will run a decade, turning waxier and more honeyed as the fruit recedes.
