Feudi di San Gregorio's Falanghina del Sannio is a fresh, unoaked Campanian white from 100% Falanghina. Five months on its lees in steel give lemon, white peach and acacia over a saline, almond-tinged finish. A versatile aperitivo white.
Built from Feudi di San Gregorio's own notes and the Vivino drinker consensus across roughly 19,000 ratings: an unoaked Falanghina rested five months on its lees in steel.
Pale straw with green glints. The nose is gently aromatic and true to Falanghina: lemon and grapefruit peel, white peach and yellow apple, lifted by acacia and chamomile blossom. A wet-stone, saline thread runs underneath, the salt and wet stone Wine Enthusiast flagged in the 2023 release.

AlmondFermented and rested about five months on its lees in steel, with no oak, so the fruit stays crisp and direct. Lemon and orchard fruit ride a fresh, balanced line of acidity, with the light 12.5% body that makes it easy to drink. Vivino reviewers most often log citrus and tree fruit with a mineral edge.
The finish is clean and saline, closing on a faint bitter-almond note typical of the grape rather than on oak.
An honest, well-made southern Italian white and one of Campania's benchmark everyday Falanghinas: across roughly 19,000 Vivino ratings it averages 3.8, with drinkers praising its freshness and value. Best drunk young as an aperitivo or with seafood, from release to about three years on.
Two UK specialists currently list the 2024 and 2025 vintages, from about 14 to 27 pounds a bottle, against roughly 11 pounds on the Italian shelf.
Strong on everyday drinking, food-friendliness and value; low on cellaring and grand occasions, as you would expect from a fresh sub-20-pound Campanian white.
Affordable, light and versatile, the inverse of its cellar score and well under the 20 pound everyday ceiling.
Classic, fruit-forward expression of an indigenous grape, no tannin and no oak, low alcohol and low price: an easy first Italian white.
High-acid, aromatic, unoaked white: one of the most food-flexible styles, strong with seafood, pizza and vegetables.
Lists around 14 to 20 pounds in the UK (about 11 in Italy) for a consistent, critically solid Campanian DOC white: strong quality for price.

Both current vintages are fresh, steel-raised whites from the Sannio hills inland of Benevento, picked for early drinking rather than the cellar.
The current release, picked in 2025 across the Sannio hills inland of Benevento. Bright and unoaked, it drinks well now and holds its lemon-and-orchard-fruit freshness to around 2028.
A fresh, steel-raised Falanghina from the 2024 Sannio harvest, built for early drinking. It is at its best in its first two to three years while the citrus and white-flower aromatics stay lively.

Feudi di San Gregorio, founded in 1986 at Sorbo Serpico in Irpinia, is one of Campania's reference producers; this wine is drawn from the Sannio DOC zone in Benevento province.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Falanghina del Sannio is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Falanghina del Sannio falls within Campania , covering Campania.
The fruit comes from the Sannio zone in Benevento, the source of Campania's most affordable Falanghina, keeping it well below Feudi's Greco di Tufo and Taurasi.
Fermentation and about five months on the lees in stainless steel, with no barrel programme, avoids wood and cellar cost, so it ships within a year of harvest.
Feudi is one of Campania's best-known names; the brand and its consistency support a UK price around 14 to 20 pounds, above anonymous co-op Falanghina.
Stocked by a couple of UK specialists rather than the supermarkets, import and a thin retail base add a few pounds over its roughly 11 pound Italian price.
UK still-wine duty is 2.67 pounds a bottle at 2026 rates for wine up to 15% ABV, with 20% VAT on top, together roughly 5 pounds of a 20 pound UK price.
Dishes that complement this wine
The fresh acidity and saline, unoaked profile cut fried Neapolitan street food, balance mozzarella and mirror seafood brine, the same table Feudi recommend.
The wine's high acidity scrubs the fat and salt off fried dough and batter, and its 12.5% lightness keeps the match refreshing rather than heavy. A textbook acidity-versus-fat pairing.
Try with: Pizza Fritta · Panzerotti · fried calamari · zucchini fritti · arancini · More pairings →
Falanghina's bright acidity meets the acidity of tomato head-on while its citrus lift freshens mozzarella, so a Margherita or Marinara stays clean between bites.
Try with: Pizza Margherita · Pizza Marinara · Pizza Diavola · Focaccia Barese · More pairings →
The saline, wet-stone edge mirrors the brine of shellfish and the acidity cuts fried or oil-dressed fish, echoing the producer's own steer toward fish and seafood.
Try with: grilled sea bream · seafood risotto · fritto misto · steamed clams · raw oysters
Cool acidity and a citrus-saline line slice through the milky fat of young Campanian cheeses, refreshing the palate where a richer white would cloy.
Try with: mozzarella di bufala · fior di latte · burrata · fresh ricotta
Its light body and herbal-citrus tone sit level with delicate vegetable plates rather than flattening them, which is why Feudi pitch it as an all-purpose aperitivo white.
Try with: grilled courgettes · vegetable risotto · minestrone · artichoke salad
A delicate 12.5% unoaked white is overrun by fiery chilli heat and by dense, slow-braised or barbecued red meat. The fruit disappears and the acidity turns sharp. Reach for an Aglianico instead.
Skip with: vindaloo · spicy Sichuan hotpot · braised short rib · barbecue brisket · Pairing guide →
Falanghina del Sannio is made for freshness: the producer and Italian merchants both point to drinking within two to three years, so buy it to enjoy soon, not to lay down.
Peak around 2026. Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Steel-only, unoaked and built for freshness with a 2 to 3 year window; not a wine made for cellaring.

Confidence · MediumIt is a fresh, dry, unoaked white led by lemon and grapefruit, white peach and yellow apple, with acacia and chamomile florals and a saline, faintly almond finish. The 100% Falanghina fruit and five months on the lees in steel keep it crisp and direct.
No. It is fermented and aged only in stainless steel, resting about five months on its own lees, so there is no oak, vanilla or toast, just bright Falanghina fruit and a mineral edge.
It shines as an aperitivo and with fish, shellfish and vegetable dishes, fresh cheeses such as mozzarella, and Neapolitan pizza and fried street food. Its acidity cuts fried fat and its saline edge mirrors seafood brine.
It is 12.5% ABV, a light-to-medium alcohol level that suits its role as a fresh, easy-drinking aperitivo white.
Drink it young, ideally within two to three years of the vintage, while its citrus and white-flower aromatics are at their liveliest. It is built for freshness rather than long cellaring.
UK specialists list the current 2024 and 2025 vintages from roughly 14 to 27 pounds a bottle. It is one of Campania's most affordable benchmark whites, retailing around 11 pounds in Italy.
