2021 vintage.
100 % Falanghina from single vineyard in Irpinia, Campania.
Grown in Calcareous clay soil between 300 and 440 meters elevation.
70 % fermented in stainless steel and 30 % partial fermentation in small oak barrels.
Bright, straw golden green colour.
White flowers, herbs, ripe apples and pineapple. It has a great textural richness on the finish.
It spends 8 months resting on its lees.
Quintodecimo also produces Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino……also equally impressive.

2023/2. Quite fresh and primary - more so than the reported use of wood (and frankly the bottle shape) might lead one to expect. Flowers, stone fruit and a bit of herbs and grass - I’d like to see this with a few years of age

Feb 26th, 2023Outstanding acidity for the grape. Leads with lemon and florals, slightly under like tropical fruit takes the background. Lots of intensity and freshness but a lot of acid structure leads to a long finish. Possibly the best expression of Falanghina I’ve ever had

Mar 26th, 2022Initially non-descript. Perhaps too warm. Apple flavours without acid. Glycerine texture. Lacking complexity and length but very drinkable.
