I Capitani Falanghina Irpinia DOC Clarum 2024

The I Capitani Clarum Falanghina Irpinia DOC 2024 is an elegant and expressive white wine from the heart of Irpinia, in the southern Italian region of Campania. Made entirely from the Falanghina grape, a native variety that has experienced a remarkable revival in recent decades, this wine reflects the passion and tradition of the I Capitani family, who have cultivated vines for generations on the hills of Torre le Nocelle. With the Clarum, they beautifully capture the essence of their unique terroir.

The wine displays a bright straw-yellow color with subtle golden reflections. On the nose, it reveals a refined bouquet of ripe peach, pear, white flowers, and citrus zest, complemented by delicate mineral notes that recall the volcanic soils on which the vines grow. These aromas give a first impression of the wine’s freshness and depth.

On the palate, the Clarum is lively and well-balanced. The attack is crisp and juicy, offering flavors of yellow apple, lime, and a hint of almond. A fine acidity provides structure and elegance, while the finish is dry, clean, and slightly bitter – a typical hallmark of the Falanghina grape – making it particularly food-friendly.

Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine’s aromatic purity. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, ensuring freshness and a true expression of fruit.

The I Capitani Falanghina Irpinia DOC Clarum 2024 pairs wonderfully with seafood, fish dishes, light pastas, white meats, and soft cheeses, yet it also shines as an elegant aperitif. Its combination of freshness, finesse, and aromatic intensity makes it a wine that appeals to both connoisseurs and curious wine lovers alike.

In short, the Clarum 2024 is a pure, authentic expression of Falanghina – a wine that embodies the very best of Irpinia: volcanic minerality, bright elegance, and refined Mediterranean character.
