Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina 2008, Italy

Production Area From a cluster of small vineyards, all in hillside locations at altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 1,300 feet, in the vicinity of Monte Taburno within the Sannio district, close to the border with Irpinia. Most of the grapes for this wine are supplied by outside growers under long-term (15 years or more) contracts. Management of these vineyards is exacting and entirely operated according to strict disciplines established by Feudi di San Gregorio. A progressive acquisition of these properties by Feudi di San Gregorio is well underway.

Grape Varieties 100% Falanghina from mature vines planted between 1985 and 1990.

Vinification Grape bunches are hand-harvested into 18 kilo lugs in the latter half of September. The lugs are then transported in refrigerated trucks (50º F) to the winery. Bunches are individually selected and soft-pressed to release only the "flower" (first free run) of the must. (Remaining juice is sold elsewhere.) The process protects the fresh fruit and floral aromas of the wine, which is cold-fermented in stainless steel for 28 days.
