Falanghina Benevento is a fresh, vibrant expression of this classic southern Italian grape, produced in its traditional heartland of Benevento. Grown in hillside vineyards on limestone and clay soils, this wine balances tropical fruit character with citrus brightness and mineral freshness. Its clean and appealing style makes it an ideal choice for both everyday enjoyment and authentic Italian food pairings.

Meet the Producer

Montecalvo is a large cooperative founded in 1960, now counting around 1,000 members cultivating 1,800 hectares of vineyards. With deep roots in the region, the cooperative is dedicated to preserving tradition while producing high-quality wines that showcase Campania’s indigenous varieties.

Production

The Falanghina vines are Guyot-trained and grow at 300–400 metres altitude on limestone and clay soils. Harvest takes place in the second half of September. Grapes are gently pressed, then fermented in stainless steel for 10 days at controlled temperatures. No malolactic fermentation is carried out to preserve crispness and purity.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of ripe lemon, apple, and honeysuckle with lightly tropical notes of pineapple and candied peel. The palate is juicy and fresh, with bright citrus fruit, hints of white spice, and a refreshing mineral finish.

Food Match

Perfect with aubergine Parmigiana, gnocchi with pancetta, spinach and Parmesan, or a simple Caprese salad with Buffalo Mozzarella.
