Description
What kind of wine it is
Fontana della Loggia by Vinosia is a still white wine from Campania made from Falanghina grapes. An authentic expression of the Irpinia denomination, fermented and matured in steel, it presents a fresh, elegant, and medium-bodied profile. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet where citrus notes of lime and grapefruit stand out, with fragrant hints of kiwi and green apple, enriched by delicate jasmine flowers and light smoky nuances. On the palate, it is distinguished by an intense minerality, ensuring a smooth and satisfying sip that finishes with a citrusy, medium-length finish.
Where it comes from
This white originates from the vineyards of Fontanarosa, nestled in the hills of the province of Avellino, in the heart of Irpinia. The vines sink their roots into sandy soils rich in calcium carbonate, a fundamental geological matrix that gives the glass its unmistakable and pronounced savoury character. The Vinosia winery works to enhance the pedoclimatic specificities of the area, creating a wine with a clean and direct character, capable of impeccably balancing the mineral tension with the aromatic intensity typical of the region.
How it is produced
The process begins with a manual harvest in the first ten days of October, followed by gentle pressing and a twelve-hour cold maceration. After clarification of the must, temperature-controlled fermentation takes place in steel tanks. The process concludes with ageing on fine lees for about two months. This technique enriches the organoleptic profile of the Falanghina, giving greater balance and structural complexity to the sip, while maintaining its renowned freshness.
