2022 La Sibilla Campi Flegrei Falanghina Cruna del Lago

Cruna del Lago is La Sibilla's reserve bottling of Falanghina from the Campi Flegrei area just north of Naples on the Campanian coast. Produced from 60-year-old vineyards cultivated by Luigi di Meo's family for over five generations, this cru represents one of the estate's oldest vines. The wine is crafted to express the maximum potential of the vine, territory and tradition. Made from 100% Falanghina, it showcases the volcanic minerality and salinity characteristic of this coastal terroir, with zesty herbal and mineral character and appealing aromas of citrus, flowers, and tarragon. An excellent seafood wine and versatile dry aperitif.
