This wine is made in the sun-baked region of Campania Southern Italy using the Falnghina grape variety. The grapes are sourced from low-yiedling vineyards in the provence of Avellino with 15% of the wine being fermented and aged in New french oak barriques for 60 days, to add complexity and texture to the wine. The wine has a lovely pale yellow color with a bouquet reminiscent of flowers, hints of melon and almonds. On the palate it is very elegant, with a good acidity and a pleasant touch of minerality. Rocca del Dragone is perfect on its own or excellent to accompany soft cheeses, seafood and shellfish dishes.
