Falanghina is Campania's signature white grape, and was introduced to Italy by settlers from ancient Greece. The name likely derives from the Latin "falangae," meaning phalanx, or the method used to support vines in the vineyard that resembles the military formation of ancient Roman troops (also reminiscient of the word phalanges, or finger bones). The wines tend to be high in acidity with floral, herbal, and tropical fruit notes on the palate.
