La Guardiense winemaker Marco Giulioli gives us a deep dive into the Falanghina grape. Pictured here throwing some shapes.

 

I’ve had a certain fascination for the Falanghina grape ever since I attended an excellent tasting with today’s GFR guest, La Guardiense winemaker Marco Giulioli, and Cave Spring winemaker, Gabriel Demarco, back in early 2019.

It was upon that day I began to understand the true potential of Falanghina, and began seeking out as many examples of this ancient Campanian variety as I could find.

In Part Two of this in-depth look at Falanghina’s relationship with terroir, we learn about Marco’s concept of an “itinerant Cru” of Falanghina vineyards in Campania.

Look out for Part One here, and next week check out a detailed virtual tasting of the excellent La Guardiense Falanghina mixed case being offered by The Vine Agency in the coming months.
