An ancient grape cultivated on the coast of Campania.


Falanghina, also called Falanghina Greco, is a variety of wine grape used for white wines. An ancient grape was originally used as a basis for the classic Falernian wine. The vines are cultivated along the coast of Campania, to produce a wine that is most love matching seafood.

The name for the wine appears to derive from the Latin falangae, or stakes for supporting the grapes in a vineyard.
