Falanghina Via del Campo 2023 92VM
Quintodecimo

92 pts Vinous Media (Eric Guido)
The 2023 Via Del Campo is sweetly floral, blending chamomile and candied lime with peach sorbet. This shimmers on the palate, crystalline and remarkably fresh, with citrus-tinged green apple fruit and juicy acidity. It tapers off with admirable length and concentration, leaving a youthful tension and hints of green melon that linger on and on.

Via del Campo perfectly expresses the fruity and mineral scents typical of Falanghina wine. It is a cru obtained exclusively with grapes from only one vineyard of Falanghina. It is characterized by a luminous golden colour and fragrances of apple, pineapple, herbs and field flowers with refined minerals and salty notes. The delicate structure, releases menthol and toasted notes arised from the short stay during the partial fermentation in small oak barrels. Immediately likeable when young, this wine evolves in a more complex bouquet after some years in the bottle.
