I'm not sure Falanghina can get any better than this, but I leave that as an open question given the enormous promise that is locked within this classic vintage. The 2016 Irpinia Falanghina Via del Campo (from a single vineyard in Mirabella Eclano) is steely and bright with fragrant tones of Amalfi lemon, wild basil and blanched almond. Briny or salty notes give focus and sharpness. The aromas are direct and immediate, yet this wine offers more volume and staying power than any of its peers. There is more substance and texture to carry this wine forward over the palate. I am very encouraged by this beautiful Falanghina that is aged partially (70%) in stainless steel and the rest in barrique. Some 22,166 bottles were made.
