About the Winery:
La Fortezza is located in the heart of the Benevento province, in a commune called Torrecuso. Torrecuso extends on the eastern side of the Taburno-Camposauro massif, where the slopes are a continuous alternation of vineyards, woods and small fields. Its highest peak, Mount Taburno, offers shade only at the end of the day - otherwise the vineyards are sun-drenched, optimizing the sugar content, aroma and acidity of the grapes.
Tasting Notes:
Straw yellow color with greenish reflections. Fresh and floral scents, citrus aromas, apple, pear and mineral notes. Round, smooth and juicy with high acidity, yet well balanced with rich flavors.
Food Pairing:
Pairings: Pairs well with seafood, mozzarella cheese, risotto, white meats.
Appellation: Falanghina del Sannio DOC
Wine Type: White
Varietal: 100% Falanghina - 25 years old
Age of vines: 25 years
Agricultural Practices: Sustainable
Vinification: Manual harvest in small crates between the end of September and beginning of October. Winemaking in white in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature.

Ratings & Reviews
89 Points - James Suckling:
"Fruit salad and light honeycomb notes here. Medium-bodied with a focused palate that includes a phenolic grip on the finish. Rather angular. Drink now." (Aug 2021)
