Green melon, candied lime, freshly sliced Granny Smith apple and crushed rocks form a captivating bouquet as the 2022 Falanghina Via del Campo comes to life in the glass. This is soft and supple, quite textural, with a mineral tinge up front further enhanced by brisk acidity as tart orchard fruits and citrus tones keep the tension high. The 2022 finishes crisply refreshing yet remarkably long with a cheek-puckering sour melon concentration. The potential here is very high. The Via del Campo displays this ripe vintage's best attributes and a minerality that perfectly balances the expression.

Our Tasting Note: A shade lighter of straw yellow than the Fiano with green flecks. Med+ nose and palate.  More fruit than the Fiano, peach, nectarine, and mandarin oranges are juicy and fresh, mandarin peel too, crushed stones, some light honeysuckle and blossom.  Med body, med+ acidity, rounder textures lead to a long, layered finish.

Via del Campo perfectly expresses the fruity and mineral scents typical of Falanghina wine. It is a cru obtained exclusively with grapes from only one vineyard of Falanghina. It is characterized by a luminous golden colour and fragrances of apple, pineapple, herbs and field flowers with refined minerals and salty notes. The delicate structure, releases menthol and toasted notes arised from the short stay during the partial fermentation in small oak barrels. Immediately likeable when young, this wine evolves in a more complex bouquet after some years in the bottle.
