Tenimenti Grieco 'Passo alle Tremiti' Falanghina embodies the essence of Molise's stunning coastal landscape. Crafted as a collaboration between the dynamic duo Antonio Grieco and Emanuela Cecca, and guided by the skilled hand of winemaker Maria Concetta Raimondo, this vibrant white wine brings together passion, innovation, and a deep respect for the land. Grown in the Portocannone hills, just metres above the shimmering Adriatic Sea, the vineyards benefit from bracing sea breezes and a Mediterranean climate, producing grapes that are remarkably fresh and expressive. The state-of-the-art cellar and sustainable vineyard practices further enhance the quality and character of this wine, which radiates the singular brackish identity of its terroir.
Tasting Notes
Appearance:
In the glass, this Falanghina shines with a delicate, pale straw hue, revealing its youth and vibrancy.
Nose:
The bouquet is intensely perfumed, unfolding with enticing notes of white florals and fresh herbs. Layers of ripe orchard fruit mingle with vibrant citrus zest, all laced with the fresh, saline minerality that speaks to its coastal roots.
Palate:
The palate is lively and elegant, delivering a harmonious blend of ripe fruit flavours, subtle herbal undertones, and a citrusy lift. Textured and crisp, the wine owes much of its mouthfeel to careful lees ageing and regular batonnage, which build complexity without overwhelming freshness.
Finish:
A pleasantly saline and mineral edge defines the finish, echoing the seaside vineyards and leaving a lingering sense of purity and place on the palate.
