Territory and wine style

The IGP Roccamonfina refers to an area of Campania suited for wines with an authentic profile, where Falanghina finds a particularly interesting expression. The vineyards of Parco Nuovo are located at sea level and are rooted in sandy soils rich in silicates, potassium, and phosphorus: a combination that contributes to giving identity and finesse. The style of this passito is born from the drying of the grapes on the vine until early November, followed by further drying on racks and a winemaking process aimed at preserving richness and harmony.

Tasting notes
