2021 vintage.
100 % Falanghina from single vineyard in Irpinia, Campania.
Grown in Calcareous clay soil between 300 and 440 meters elevation.
70 % fermented in stainless steel and 30 % partial fermentation in small oak barrels.
Bright, straw golden green colour.
White flowers, herbs, ripe apples and pineapple. It has a great textural richness on the finish.
It spends 8 months resting on its lees.
Quintodecimo also produces Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino……also equally impressive.

2023/2. Quite fresh and primary - more so than the reported use of wood (and frankly the bottle shape) might lead one to expect. Flowers, stone fruit and a bit of herbs and grass - I’d like to see this with a few years of age
