Bottle Description
Notes:
The Vesevo winery is located in the high, mountainous area of Avellino, known as the 'Switzerland of the South'. The vineyards are regularly exposed to a cool breeze that blows in from the Bay of Naples and this same breeze has, over the centuries, blown volcanic ash from Vesuvius inland to give the soil here a volcanic character rich in minerals and trace elements. These have proved fundamental in the production of wines of real character from local grape varieties, one of which is called Falanghina.
This stunning 2008 vintage has intense apple and pear flavours on the nose and the palate. It is medium-bodied, fresh and well-balanced and possesses a remarkable depth and persistence of flavour the sort of depth of flavour seldom found in this grape.
