The new 2025 vintage carries that same fresh, vibrant Campanian character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFalanghina is an ancient white grape variety native to the Campania region in southern Italy. Believed to have been cultivated since Roman times, this grape has a rich history and has been a favorite among winemakers for centuries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe name \"Falanghina\" is said to derive from the Latin word \"falangae,\" which refers to the stakes traditionally used to support the grapevines. This grape is mostly associated with the volcanic soils of Campania, particularly in the areas surrounding the city of Naples. However, it is also found in small quantities in other parts of Italy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn terms of taste, Falanghina wines are often described as aromatic, crisp, and refreshing. They typically exhibit notes of tropical fruits, such as pineapple, citrus, and melon, sometimes with a hint of floral or herbal complexity. The natural acidity of this grape variety contributes to its lively and zesty character, making it an ideal choice for a refreshing summer wine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e13% Abv\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41895740801157,"sku":"27741","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0318\/1137\/1141\/files\/WNIC2AJJTbOor-Td3EP4Sw_pb_600x600_05b747cb-6e02-4c1c-84b8-a8ba427febd4.png?v=1790058865","url":"https:\/\/winedirect.co.nz\/products\/terre-del-vulcano-lava-falanghina-2025","provider":"winedirect.co.nz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
