Falanghina is experiencing a true renaissance under Luigi Moio. What was long regarded as a "simple" regional grape variety is developing into a white wine of surprising complexity and finesse in the hands of the oenology professor. Via del Campo – named after the characteristic country lanes of Irpinia – represents Moio's vision of a modern interpretation of this indigenous variety. In the vineyards of Lapio, the Falanghina vines grow on calcareous soils with volcanic inclusions, which give the region its mineral character. The vines, which are over forty years old, have adapted perfectly to the terroir and produce concentrated grapes with a pronounced aromatic intensity. The altitude of 450 metres provides the necessary temperature fluctuations that give Falanghina its characteristic balance between strength and elegance.

Straw yellow with greenish reflections. The bouquet combines white flowers with notes of pear and green apple, complemented by a subtle herbal flavour. On the palate, Via del Campo impresses with lively acidity and fruit flavours of peach and citrus. The delicate bitterness in the final, typical of Falanghina, gives the wine an interesting structure and length. An authentic expression of the wine culture of Irpinia, proving that Falanghina is one of the most interesting and flavoursome indigenous grape varieties in Campania. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2024 Falanghina Via del Campo is playful in nature, exuding a pretty blend of chamomile, freshly cut yellow apples, peach skin and sweet smoke. It is luxuriously round with a lovely inner sweetness balanced by zesty acidity and a hint of sour lime, all motivated by juicy acidity. Crisp and clean, yet impressive, the 2024 finishes with medium length and a mineral crispness as nuances of mint fade. It's almost impossible to stop at one glass." Vinous

"The 2024 Irpinia Falanghina Via del Campo makes a big statement from the top, showing strong aromatic lift. Pink Lady apple, sweet lemon and fresh chamomile show immediate appeal. This is a beautifully fragrant and characterful white wine that offers mineral definition and glossy, latex-like sensations overt a medium-bodied finish." Wine Advocate
