Cantina di Solopaca Maria Cristina Falanghina Sparkling Brut

Cantina di Solopaca Maria Cristina Falanghina Vino Spumante Brut proves that Prosecco is not the only sensational sparkling wine to come out of Italy. This dry sparkler hails from Campania in the Southwest part of the country. Made from hand-harvested Falanghina, this light to medium-bodied white wine expresses the zesty nature of the yellow-skinned grape variety. On the nose, hints of exotic fruits and annurca apple mingle with yellow flowers. These flavor notes are reinforced on the palate, joined by hints of minerality in harmony with delicate bubbles. Falaghina is an ancient grape and one of the signature varieties of Campania. The region’s fertile soils are nurtured by an abundance of sunshine and coastal Mediterranean breezes, which imparts grapes with bright flavor. This wine is presented by Cantina di Solopaca, one of the region’s oldest farmer’s cooperatives. For more than 50 years, this community of 600 passionate vine-growers and winemakers have been cultivating grapes, especially unique local varieties, to craft delicious wines. Best served cold, Cantina di Solopaca Maria Cristina Falanghina Vino Spumante Brut is excellent on its own and when poured for toasts. It will also complement Italian charcuterie like buffalo mozzarella, soft cheeses, and salami.
