Lots of dark fruit in the nose, and a bit of what smells like cinnamon. Plum, dark cherry, leather. Dusty tannins coat the mouth. At 13%; lots of flavor and depth. Enjoyed with bucatini and sauce made with garden tomatoes. — a month ago

My last bottle of this beauty (123/1000 in NYC). I gifted the others to friends :) Richly sumptuous as I remembered - deep dark fruits, vanilla and dry earthiness. Full and delicious. With a quick orecchiette in prosciutto, shallots, peppers, parmesan and lemon. — 10 months ago

Spectacular example of an Amalfi region wine / minerality but body - a nice white that stands up to the seafood and pasta in the region — 2 years ago

Very rich and deep. Really singing now. Raging Aglianico tannins have been mellowed by 12 years in bottle but are still prominent with a bit of grip. Dark black fruit but tart, loads of acidity. Well balanced. Would have liked a bit more nose. — 3 years ago

Donnachiara – Beneventano Falanghina 2022
Campania – Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
Made from 100% Falanghina, sourced from the heart of Taburno territory in Campania. This native Italian white has a reputation for bright acidity and age-worthy freshness. The 2022 vintage shows Falanghina’s classic balance of fruit, florals, and structure.

Aromas & Flavors
Persistent notes of baked pear, dried apricot, and citrus, with acacia blossom and white flowers adding lift. A faint honeyed nuance sits in the background.

Mouthfeel
Dry, with a mild-solid texture and distinctive structure. Bright and alive, with a long but not overwhelming finish. Nearly no malolactic fermentation, keeping acidity pure and focused.

Food Pairings
Excellent with seafood pastas, grilled fish, mozzarella di bufala, or lemon-based dishes. A versatile partner to Mediterranean fare.

Verdict
Succulent and structured, this Falanghina offers immediate pleasure while also capable of aging gracefully until 2027. A benchmark example of the variety — bright, elegant, and satisfying. 🍋🍐

Did You Know?
Falanghina is one of southern Italy’s oldest grapes, believed to have been used in wines enjoyed by ancient Romans. Its name may come from falangae, the stakes used to support the vines. — 7 months ago

This seems like more of the style of Mediterranean/southern European whites I enjoy. It has a rich texture combined with crisp fruit notes and sufficient acid to keep things balanced. Lemon curd and wet stones. — 3 years ago
