“Roccaleoni” Falanghina Campania IGP 2023
Fresh Falanghina from the heart of Sannio Benevento. Light yellow in colour with fruity and floral notes of pineapple, banana, peach, a hint of pink broom and sage. Balanced on the palate with an admirable length and concentration of citrus fruit. Very nice as an aperitif and with light dishes. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2023 Falanghina Rocca dei Leoni opens with a fragrant blend of dried herbs and spices, giving way to zests of lemon and hints of mint. It's soft-textured with juicy acidity and notes of green melon, accentuated by a tactile tinge of minerality toward the close. The 2023 finishes spicy and medium in length, with a gingery twang that punctuates the experience nicely." Vinous

Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Bianco DOC 2023
A wine with a prestigious name and a beautiful legend: God wept when he found a corner of heaven stolen by Lucifer and where his tears fell, the Lacryma Christi vine grew. The extraordinary power of the area around the active Vesuvius gives this wine a great variety of flavours.
Mastroberardino's Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio is a single varietal Coda di Volpe that flirts with sweet melon and pear, complemented by notes of incense and exotic spices. A pure and soothing expression, but also very flavoursome, with mineral orchard fruits that fade into floral notes towards the end. A salty note runs through the final as it fades out fresh and clean. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Rosato Lacrimarosa blossoms in the glass with a smoky blend of crushed rocks, ginger and young peach. This is round and cooling on the palate, with mineral-laced orchard fruits and pretty inner florals. The 2022 finishes with medium length and a salty flourish that calls the taster back to the glass." Vinous

In the area of "Tear of Christ".
Wine from Campania is hardly known here. Campania is associated with Naples, Vesuvius, Salerno, Ischia, the Capri fishermen, the Amalfi coast and of course pizza. But wine? You have to help wine lovers on their way. Taurasi, Falanghina, Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo and Lacryma Christi. Ring a bell?
The fine wines were already highly appreciated in antiquity. Names such as Falerner, Massiker and Surrentiner were often mentioned in ancient literature and received much praise. Before its destruction by the Vesuvius eruption in 79, the ancient city of Pompeii was an important Roman wine-growing town. The most famous wine of the "Campania felix" (Happy Land) - as the Romans called the region previously inhabited by Greek settlers - bears the name Lacryma Christi (Tear of Christ).
In the region on the Tyrrhenian Sea around the port of Naples, almost 25,000 hectares are planted with vines that produce around 130 million litres of wine per year. The four DOCG and 15 DOC zones, however, account for only 19 percent of total production.
The wines produced in the Mediterranean climate of Campania can thrive on the volcanic and alluvial soils. For some time the economic crisis and the flight of the rural population to the cities slowed down the vigour of the winegrowers. In the meantime, however, a lot is happening again, especially in the area of quality. Pioneers such as Mastroberardino and Feudi di Gregorio contribute significantly to this.
Aglianico, Falerner and again and again Vesuvius.
Lacryma Christi, produced south of Naples, is labelled Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio DOC. Further to the northeast, the best white wine of Campania is pressed around Avellino from the Fiano grape - the Fiano di Avellino DOCG, which also tolerates several years of bottle ageing and then convinces with a multi-layered bouquet as well as with structure and complexity. A little further north, the great rival Greco di Tufo DOCG thrives on volcanic ground. It is often perceived as fresher and more fruity and is a wonderful accompaniment to food. Particularly fine, often fragrant and elegant white wines are pressed from the grape variety Falanghina.
The outstanding red wine of Campania grows a little further east and is called Taurasi DOCG, which is pressed from the Aglianico grape, which was often underestimated in the past. Due to its high tannin content, this plant can mature for a long time in the bottle. When it has developed into a deep, concentrated and very distinguished wine, it is usually praised in the highest tones. And north of Naples, the legendary Falerner was revived as a DOC wine in its ancient region of origin.
In Campania, especially in the region of Avellino and in the DOCG Taburno a little further north, the red variety Aglianico in particular produces full-bodied, colourful and aromatic red wines. Here, too, the autochthonous, partly very old grape varieties are remembered and Asprinio, Biancolella, Coda di Volpe and Piedirosso are planted again. Exciting wines come naturally from the volcanic sites near Vesuvius, from the steep terraces of the Amalfi coast and from the offshore islands. The Sorrento peninsula and the picturesque islands of Capri and Ischia also produce some remarkable wines. Even further south on the coast is the large and still young DOC area Cilento, which has remained rather undiscovered but of which some elegant wines have already attracted attention. Future area.
