Campania At a Glance
Region NameCampania
Like many Italian regions, Campania is home to an impressive array of grape varieties, some found almost nowhere else on earth. Its most important variety is arguably Aglianico, the grape behind the region’s two most famous and respected red wines: Taurasi and Aglianico del Taburno.
Score: 91Vintage 2021James SucklingFresh falanghina with a slightly saline character to the nose and palate. Subtle and elegant delivery of lemon, white fruit, flowers and sliced apples. Delicate, dry and tangy. Drink now.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 89Vintage 2021Vinous MediaThe 2021 Falanghina Corte di Giso is remarkably pretty, as mint and sweet smoke aromas blow off to reveal yellow apples and pears. It's deeply textural with ripe orchard fruits that are nicely offset by a core of mineral-infused acidity. This becomes spicy, savory and almost salty through the crisply refreshing finale as a lime hint slowly fades.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2021Wine AdvocateThis is a pretty and refreshing wine at a great price. The Terredora di Paolo 2021 Irpinia Falanghina Corte di Giso shows mild tones of orange blossom, white peach, lemon and crushed aspirin. The aromas move along a full spectrum, and although they are not super complex or complicated, the wine is truthful to the grape and its territory. Fruit is sourced across several vineyard sites, Montefusco, Montemiletto and Gesualdo. Production is an ample 130,000 bottles.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Score: 88Vintage 2020Vinous MediaThe 2020 Falanghina Corte di Giso wafts up with a sweetly scented bouquet that shows honeyed florals, yellow apples and candied ginger. Its silky textures wash ripe orchard fruits and nuances of confectionary spice across the palate, all nicely contrasted by citrus-tinged acidity. This tapers off to hints of green melon mixed with salty minerals, making for a crisp and refreshing finale.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Score: 88Vintage 2019Wine AdvocateThe 2019 Irpinia Falanghina Corte di Giso is a light and luminous expression with classic aromas of citrus and white peach. This wine delivers an especially tropical set of aromas that could be traced back to the yeasts. Faint tones of banana and pineapple rise from the glass. However, you also get varietally pure tones of white flower, cut grass and white stone, combining for the kind of Falanghina you could pair with Chinese takeout.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
