Terroir Notes: Falanghina is the main variety in Sannio and in Campania overall. The Falanghina vine is vigorous, producing a generous crop, and requires soils with water availability. For this reason, Perlingieri's Falanghina is cultivated on their lower plots of land in the town of Solopaca with volcanic sandy and calcareous soils. The name Preta – local dialect name for stone – evokes the soil characteristic of the vineyards where the grapes are cultivated.
