Curiosity & insights

Falanghina is a white grape variety whose name derives from the Latin "phalange" that means "tied to the pole". Its origins are uncertain, although it is an ancient vine, its the first traces date back to 1825.
Currently it is spread mainly in Campania region where it finds its greatest expression. One of the features of this semi-aromatic varieties is that the wine made from it keeps well organoleptic characteristics to changes of the production area. Nevertheless, the Clarum expresses a more mineral expression from the other area because it's produced from Falanghina grapes grown near our company in Torre le Nocelle with very loo yields.
