| Description: | It has been said that this variety entered unmistakable of this grape variety into Italy from the port of Cuma, an ancient colony founded in 700 Bc at the foot of the Phlegrean Fields. The Greeks cultivated their vines by leaving them to crawl on the ground. In Italy, however, this type of training system produced moldy grapes. So the settlers were forced to look for an alternative. This was how the rst winemakers understood that by lifting the vines off the ground and attaching them to wooden poles, in Latin phalangae, they avoided the onset of botrytis. From these support systems Vinum Album Phalanginum was born, ancestor to our Falanghina. Producer Memory is an essential value for those who put their roots in the land. The Varchetta family has been making wine for over a hundred years and has always placed attention to the territory at the base of their work without ever losing sight how important pleasure is. In was in 1892 when Vincenzo Varchetta decided to strengthen his wine making activity. He was convinced that the time was right to transform the pleasure of producing wine into a thriving business. A decisive contribution was made by his son Giovanni, who, after returning home from the Second World War, managed to concretely transform his father's dreams into reality. "Don Giovanni", expert in every aspect of Campania vineyards, instilled in his children and grandchildren all his passion and expertise that he had accumulated over the years. With a history expanding over four generations, the family founded the Astroni Winery in 1999, engaging in a project to protect and enhance Campania ampelography and offering an oenology of strong traditions enriched by modern cultivation and vinification techniques. |
