Wines of Campania
WINES OF CAMPANIA SPARKLING “Altacosta” Brut Methodo Classico, Tenuta San Francesco I 10/48. Bianca Zita and Bianca Tenera grapes. Classic method, same as in Champagne. Perlage fine, rich and never ending. Citrus notes of the Amalfi coast, along with intense aromas of minerality and expansive florality. In the mouth, it recalls well the richness of perfumes, and sports a beautiful structure, tasty and fresh, persistent and fruity. Gragnano, "Otto Uve," 2019, Salvatore Martusciello I 9/42 A blend of 8 grapes. Vivacious with a touch of effervescence. Hints of violet, strawberry, rose and raspberry. To be drunk cold. Sparkling red, not white. ROSATO Roseto del Volturno, 2018, Terre di Principe I 10/48 Pallagrello and Casavecchia grapes. A meaty rosato, with deep notes of black cherry, pepper and menthol. Alive and fresh. “Faive,” 2018, Nino Franco | 10/48 Sparkling rose. “Faive,” from the Venetian dialect meaning “sparks.” When farmers burn the wood from pruning, the direction the sparks fly is said to forecast the result of the harvest. This wine is made using a blended wine from Merlot and Cabernet Franc, making this wine very special and different. WHITE Falanghina, "16 Marzo," 2017, Nicola Trabucco I 9/42 100% Falanghina. Fresh and floral with good acidic structure. “Lacryma Christi,” 2017, Contea di Sylva Maia I 9/42 80% Coda di Volpe, 20% Falanghina.
