Quintodecimo 'Via del Campo’ Falanghina 2024

Winemaking

Quintodecimo is a small, quality-focused producer in Campania committed to expressing the unique character of native southern Italian varietals. The estate prioritizes minimal intervention in the cellar, allowing the volcanic terroir and the distinctive properties of Falanghina to shine through without heavy manipulation.

Tasting Notes

This vibrant Falanghina opens with bright citrus and white stone fruit aromatics, layered with subtle herbaceous notes that hint at the wine's mineral complexity. On the palate, it's crisp and focused, with excellent acidity driving flavors of lemon zest and green apple forward, finishing with a whisper of almond that adds textural interest. The clean, refreshing finish carries a pleasant saline minerality—a signature of the volcanic soils that give this wine its distinctive backbone.

Producer

Quintodecimo operates as a small, artisanal estate in Campania, where it focuses on recovering and promoting indigenous varietals of southern Italy. The winery is known for sustainable viticulture and a philosophy of letting the fruit and terroir speak for themselves, rather than imposing heavy winemaking techniques.

Terroir

The 'Via del Campo' vineyard sits in Campania, a region shaped by volcanic activity and blessed with mineral-rich soils that impart distinctive salinity and freshness to white wines. The Mediterranean climate—tempered by sea breezes and moderated by altitude—allows Falanghina to achieve excellent acidity while developing ripe, expressive fruit character.

Food Pairings

Serve this with grilled branzino dressed simply with olive oil and lemon, or pair it alongside a casual platter of fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, and marinated vegetables. For a composed plate, try pan-seared halibut with Meyer lemon beurre blanc and sautéed spring vegetables—the wine's mineral edge and crisp acidity will cut through the richness beautifully.
