The 2007 Falanghina Via del Campo is one of the richer Falanghinas readers will come across. A textured, generous white, the Via del Campo flows with an opulent expression of ripe tropical fruit. Aging in French oak barrels gives the wine much of its volume and textural richness, qualities that follow through to the soft, enveloping finish. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2015.
Consulting oenologist Luigi Moio is one of the most influential people in the viticultural landscape of southern Italy. In recent years, Moio has begun to garner significant attention for the wines he makes at his own property, Quintodecimo. These rich, textured whites and reds are quickly establishing themselves among the elite. Quintodecimo fans can look forward to a new single-vineyard Taurasi from the Cersito vineyard, a due south parcel on volcanic soils, which will be released in 2013.
