Falanghina del Sannio is an Italian white wine grape region. Falanghina del Sannio is located in Campania, which is often referred to as the “shin” part of the boot of Italy. The Falanghina del Sannio area is just North of Naples and consists of mountainous terrain. In 2010, Falanghina del Sannio was granted DOC as a single variety. Wines produced from Falanghina del Sannio include passito, vendemmia tardiva, and sparkling spumante. Falanghina grapes produce the main components of Falerno del Massico and Galluccio wines. Falanghina grapes add sweetness, much like that of honey to the wine. The ancient philosopher, Pliny the Elder, was fond of the Falanghina area and the grapes produced there. It is said that his famous phrase “vino veritas”, which translates to “there is truth in wine”, was inspired by the grapes grown in Falanghina del Sannio.
