Falanghina del Sannio
Wine · PDO · 78 municipalities
Recognised since 2011 in Campania, the Falanghina del Sannio DOC is produced across 78 municipalities, including Airola, and must contain at least 85% Falanghina grapes. Unlike many neighbouring Italian appellations, this denomination strictly prohibits the use of qualifiers like 'Riserva', 'scelto', or 'vecchio' on its labels. While base wines allow a maximum yield of 12.0 t/ha, the disciplinare enforces precise variations for other styles; for instance, the classic method sparkling wines must undergo bottle refermentation with at least 12 months on the lees, and vintage years are mandatory for all but spumante types.
