Quintodecimo | Campania
Quintodecimo s.a. srl. | Via San Leonardo 27 | IT 83036 Mirabella Eclano

Pale straw yellow with golden reflections. Ripe herbal aromas, tonic, sweet lemon, grapefruit and apricot on the nose. Juicy and penetrating on the palate, with a delightful floral lift and energy that leads seamlessly into the long, complex finish with a savoury bite and pronounced minerality. A beautiful, distinctive single-vineyard Falanghina in a class of its own. SUPERIORE.DE

"This light- to medium-bodied white has a subtle, pleasing fleshiness to it, with mouthwatering acidity sculpting well-knit flavors of melon, persimmon, almond skin, verbena and fleur de sel. Delivers a light, honeyed overtone that lingers on the spiced finish." Wine Spectator

"Green melon, candied lime, freshly sliced Granny Smith apple and crushed stones form a captivating bouquet as the 2022 Falanghina Via del Campo comes to life in the glass. It is soft and supple, with a mineral note at the forefront, enhanced by vibrant acidity, while tart fruit and citrus keep the tension high. The 2022 finishes crisp and refreshing, yet remarkably long with a concentration of sour melon lingering around the cheeks. There is great potential here. The Via del Campo shows the best characteristics of this ripe vintage and a minerality that perfectly balances the expression." Vinous

"Clean floral aromas with notes of yellow peach and apple and a hint of almond. Medium-bodied with a salty freshness on the palate and a long finish with more lemon peel and zest dressing the firm, dry-mineral texture. A Falanghina of the highest calibre." James Suckling

"From the vineyard of the same name in Piana dei Greci, in Mirabella Eclano, partially vinified and fully matured in French oak barriques, this is a sophisticated, multi-layered and complex wine. White melon, a hint of lemon peel and sage on the nose, crisp and savoury mouthfeel, with a fruity finish." Luca Gardini

"A wine like this makes us appreciate a working grape like Falanghina anew. In the right hands, this indigenous grape variety with roots in antiquity can produce marvellous results with surprising nuance and elegance. This is what you get with the Quintodecimo 2022 Irpinia Falanghina Via del Campo. The wine shows a good texture and a slightly waxy note with hints of dried tropical fruit and grapefruit flavours coming from the grape skins. A third of the wine is aged in oak, which also contributes to the flavour and texture of this wine. On the scale of Falanghina wines, it shows much more fruit weight and depth." Wine Advocate
