FALANGHINA

Not everyone is aware that in Campania, some grapevines survived the phylloxera invasion of the late 1800s. Since then, wines have been produced by grafting European vines onto American rootstocks. However, some grape varieties have shown resistance to this parasite and do not require grafting.

As a result, they are referred to as “on own roots” or “own-rooted.” Indeed, a remarkable 30% of the grapevines from which this Falanghina del Sannio originates are on their own roots. This fact signifies more than just the vineyard’s antiquity; it speaks of the pure magic of ancient vines, touched and cared for by four generations. A territory that has been the home of hundreds of families and that continues to thrive today, giving life to new vineyards, dreams, and passions.
