Identitas | Falanghina del Sannio DOP – Selezione Oro

The “identity” of Sannio captured in a glass.

About the wine

Identitas is crafted from 100% Falanghina, carefully selected as part of a vineyard zoning project. Grapes are hand-harvested, de-stemmed, and softly pressed, preceded by a cryomaceration under inert gas to prevent oxidation. After 24 hours of static decantation, the clear must is inoculated with yeast strains that preserve the primary varietal aromas of Falanghina. The wine remains on fine lees until February, then is racked, filtered, and bottled in early March.

Tasting notes

• Color: intense straw-yellow with greenish hues

• Nose: citrus (orange, mandarin), white melon, pineapple, apricot jelly, white plum, mimosa, orange zest

• Palate: bright citrus opening, evolving into ripe yellow fruit, finishing with a mineral and slightly smoky note

Food pairing

Excellent with seafood (crudi, carpaccio), risotto with shellfish, vegetables or mushrooms, and a perfect match with buffalo mozzarella or fresh stretched-curd cheeses.

Curiosity

Falanghina is the true “identitas” of Sannio: the most representative grape of the area, symbol of peasant tradition, and an emblem of the deep connection between land and people.
