The aftertaste is long, fat, and quite consistent with the taste of apricot, melon, orange blossom, and butterscotch. This elegant wine is appropriate for the everyday dinner as well as for romantic meetings and business restaurant dining.

It should be served chilled, at temperature of 50°F - 54°F.

    Wine Appellations
    The appellation of origin certified by the Italian authority as DOC (Controlled Appellation of Origin) is Taburno. The production zone of the Taburno in the province of Benevento is a district of high hills that are subject to particularly severe winters. Taburno is the fruit of favorable climatic conditions and the know-how and experience of the area's skilled winegrowers, who are the best allies of the local grape varieties, especially Falanghina. Hence the Falanghina del Taburno is a quality wine produced in the territories of a few municipal districts at the feet of Mount Taburno, in Campania, dotted with vineyards and olive groves.

    The Winery History
    The winery is situated in the district of the Taburno, an area of Campania that stretches from the river Calore to the slopes of the Pentime Mountain. The hillsides are sunny and covered with grapevines. In these lands, a lot of faith and hard work has taken place to improve the production of these wines. The first vines where planted over this area 150 years ago. The strong vines were grown, nurtured, cultivated, and havested with love and passion from the first makings of this family wine. The winery owner states with a typical intense look of Italian winemakers :”My wine is the blood of these fields and everything that I have in me.”
