Vinification of Serrocielo Falanghina DOC by Feudi di San Gregorio The Falanghina vines for this wine grow in selected sites in Campania. The soils consist mainly of volcanic rock, tuff and mineral-rich layers. These subsoils store water yet still provide good drainage. This allows the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. The altitude brings cooler nights, which preserves the freshness and maintains the clear citrus character. The vines are deliberately not overloaded. Yields are reduced in order to concentrate the aromas. During the growing season, the team at Feudi di San Gregorio pays close attention to gentle canopy management. The leaf canopy protects the grapes from excessive heat. This way, the berries remain ripe but not overripe. Harvest usually takes place in the early morning hours. This keeps the temperature and aromatic concentration of the berries stable. Picking is done selectively by hand. Only intact, ripe grapes make it into the cellar. Each parcel is assessed separately so that the character of each site can be preserved. In the cellar, gentle and controlled processing follows. The grapes are carefully crushed. A short period of skin contact can support the extraction of aromas from the skins. After that, must and lees are cleanly separated. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This makes it possible to work out the fine, citrus-driven notes of Falanghina with precision. Wood is deliberately avoided in order to keep fruit and minerality pure. After fermentation, the wine rests for some time on the fine lees. This lees aging brings volume and a creamy texture without diminishing the freshness. Regular stirring of the lees can refine the structure and round out the body harmoniously.
