Di Majo Norante Falanghina
Wine Description
This old vine wine is made from Falanghina, a grapevine cultivated in Molise by the ancient Sannites, who considered it one of the best. The vineyard where the grapes are grown faces south, with a clay soil that gives it a particular minerality and balance between acidity and body.

Wine Production
Before fermentation, the grapes are cooled to 2 ºC. degrees, remaining in contact with the skins for 24 hours and only the flower is slowly fermented at a low temperature. The wine is then aged in contact with the lees for about three months and bottled after filtration. The sulphur content of this wine is far below the average of other organic wines.
