Description
The 2022 Colle Imperatrice Falanghina Campi Flegrei is a dry white wine produced by Domaine Cantine Astroni, located in the volcanic region of Campi Flegrei near Naples, in southern Italy. This wine is made from the native Falanghina grape, known for its freshness, fruity aromas, and bright acidity. The unique volcanic terroir of Campi Flegrei, with its mineral-rich soils, imparts a distinctive minerality to the wine, enhancing the elegance and purity of the Falanghina grape.
Blend
This wine is made from 100% Falanghina, a grape indigenous to the Campania region. The volcanic terroir, combined with the maritime influence of the Mediterranean, helps produce wines that are vibrant, fresh, and mineral-driven, with a complexity that reflects the uniqueness of the Campi Flegrei region. Falanghina is particularly well-suited to the mineral-rich soils, which contribute to the wine’s lively tension.
Tasting notes
Color: The wine presents a pale yellow color with bright golden reflections, typical of fresh, young white wines.
Nose: The nose is expressive and aromatic, revealing white-fleshed fruits such as pear and apple, complemented by citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit. Floral hints of white flowers and acacia mix with saline and mineral undertones, highlighting the volcanic terroir.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively, with bright acidity that brings lightness and vibrancy. Citrus and white fruit flavors dominate, accompanied by delicate floral notes. The minerality is prominent, giving the wine a chalky texture and a saline finish. The finish is long and persistent, with a perfect balance between freshness, fruit, and minerality.
Aging potential
The 2022 Colle Imperatrice Falanghina is best enjoyed young to appreciate its freshness and fruity, floral aromas. However, it can be aged for 2 to 3 years, during which it will develop more complex aromas and a rounder texture while maintaining its vibrancy.
