Cantine Astroni, the Falanghina in every version!

Happy 2018! Let’s start this new year continuing to get excited about wine! Our journey today leads us to Naples, to the Cantine Astroni of the Varchetta family.

We are in the deep heart of Campi Flegrei, a volcanic crater district, a magical place, rich in history and natural beauties. It is here, precisely from these sandy and mineral soils, sung in Dante’s Inferno, that a heavenly nectar is born called Falanghina.

The Varchetta family, with Cantine Astroni, knew how to use these grapes, creating products that, despite the same soul, have sensory characteristics that continually surprise the taster.
