A vibrant expression of Falanghina from the Sannio area of Campania, ‘Aicon’ is produced by Cantina La Guardiense, one of southern Italy’s most respected cooperative wineries, based in Guardia Sanframondi. The Sannio DOP is recognised as one of the historic heartlands of Falanghina, where the warm Mediterranean climate and varied soils allow the grape to achieve both aromatic intensity and natural freshness.
Tasting Notes:
Pale straw yellow with bright reflections, the nose is fragrant and inviting, showing notes of white peach, pineapple and citrus blossom. On the palate it is dry, fresh and lively, with ripe orchard and tropical fruit balanced by a distinct mineral streak. The finish is clean and persistent, combining generosity of flavour with crisp, refreshing acidity.
Winemaking:
Produced from 100% Falanghina grown in the Sannio DOP zone, the grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve aromatic character and natural acidity. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel to maintain purity of fruit and varietal expression, with no oak influence, resulting in a bright and precise style.
Food Pairing:
An excellent aperitif, and a natural partner to seafood, grilled prawns, calamari and light pasta dishes. Its freshness and mineral character also complement salads, white meats and Mediterranean vegetable dishes.
ABV: 13%
