Falanghina is a white wine grape varietal that is indigenous to the regions of Campania and Sardinia in Italy. The varietal is believed to have ancient origins and has been used in Italian winemaking for hundreds of years.
Wines produced from the Falanghina grape are often medium-bodied with high acidity, making them refreshing and perfect for pairing with seafood dishes. They typically exhibit aromas and flavors of citrus and floral notes, along with hints of almond and spice. Some versions can also have a slightly minerally undertone, reflecting the volcanic soils in which the vines often grow.
Depending on the winemaking process used, some Falanghina wines can also exhibit a creamy texture or slightly honeyed quality. This versatility has led to an increase in popularity for this varietal, both in Italy and abroad.
