FALANGHINA DEL SANNIO DOC 2022

Falanghina represents one of the most interesting whites of Campania production. The success of this wonderful wine is due to Leonardo Mustilli, the first to rediscover it and bottle it pure in the 1970s. Leonardo Mustilli in 1976 understood the potential of the Falanghina grape before anyone else by vinifying it in purity. Today it is among the most representative realities of the south and since then Mustilli has looked after a shining pearl in the Sant'Agata dei Goti sub-area.
