Vinosia
Vinosia's hand-picked Irpinia Falanghina from sandy, calcium-rich soils near Paternopoli. Lime, grapefruit and jasmine over a steel-raised mineral palate; two months on fine lees add texture. Built for raw seafood, about 16 pounds in the UK.
Vinosia's technical sheet promises lime, grapefruit, kiwi and jasmine from cold-macerated Falanghina kept two months on fine lees. Vivino drinkers, 3.8 across 212 ratings, echo the green apple, citrus and stony mineral line.
Lime and grapefruit lead, the citrus line Vinosia's own technical sheet promises, with kiwi and a jasmine florality the Italian trade listing singles out. James Suckling's note on the 2024 adds dried Mediterranean herbs, white nectarine and sliced apple. Vivino drinkers most often log green apple and pear alongside the citrus.

Wet stonesDry and medium bodied, with the vibrant acidity of Falanghina picked by hand in the first ten days of October and fermented cool in stainless steel. Two months on fine lees add gentle texture without blurring the saline, stony signature the producer traces to sandy, calcium-carbonate-rich soil in the Avellino hills.
Clean and stony rather than long: the producer's sheet itself calls the persistence medium, closing on wet-stone minerality and citrus pith.
A textbook steel-raised Irpinia Falanghina DOC sitting above Vinosia's Le Sorbole IGT bottling and below the estate's DOCG whites at UK retail. The Vivino crowd rates it 3.8 across 212 ratings and likes exactly what the sheet promises: freshness, salinity and shellfish-friendly drive. Drink it young.
Eurowines lists the 2025 vintage at £15.96 a bottle in six-bottle cases. That sits above Vinosia's Le Sorbole Campania IGT Falanghina at £11.50 and just under the estate's Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino DOCG whites at UK retail.
The scores weigh the 2025's £15.96 UK price against its 11.70 euro Italian shelf price, the steel-only vinification, and Falanghina's food-first acidity within the wider Irpinia DOC field.
An unoaked, citrus-and-jasmine expression of an indigenous Campanian grape at DOC level with no barrel notes and a £15.96 price: an easy first Falanghina.
Vibrant acidity and the saline minerality Vinosia traces to sandy Avellino soils make this a producer-designated raw-seafood and shellfish white, a call Vivino's crowd pairings confirm.
Under £16 a bottle, drink-now style and shellfish-to-pizza versatility make it a weeknight white; only Eurowines' six-bottle case format nudges it off a top everyday score.
price_aggregate is empty so this is derived editorially: £15.96 at Eurowines against an 11.70 euro Italian shelf price and a solid but not exceptional Vivino 3.8 sits mid-band for UK-landed Campanian whites.

The current UK release is the 2025, hand picked in the first ten days of October and bottled young after two months on fine lees. Steel-raised Falanghina is made for early drinking, although Vivino users rate the 2022 highest of recent vintages at 4.0.
Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
Irpinia DOC covers the Avellino hills where Vinosia, founded in 2004 by Luciano Ercolino after his years at Feudi di San Gregorio, farms between 380 and 550 metres. The producer credits sandy, calcium-carbonate-rich soil for this wine's mineral cut.
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.
Irpinia 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.
Irpinia falls within Campania , covering Avellino.
Vinosia picks Falanghina by hand at 380 to 550 metres around Paternopoli; manual hillside picking costs materially more per kilo than the machine harvesting common on flatter DOC vineyards.
HMRC duty on a still wine at 13.5% ABV is £2.67 and VAT adds another £2.66, so roughly £5.33 of Eurowines' £15.96 price is tax before any wine, glass or freight is paid for.
No barrels to buy, top up or store: the producer's sheet specifies stainless steel throughout and about two months on lees, keeping cellar overheads well below oak-aged whites.
Fontana della Loggia carries Irpinia DOC rather than Greco di Tufo or Fiano di Avellino DOCG papers, one reason it sells at £15.96 while Vinosia's two DOCG whites list at £16.90 in the UK.
Photovoltaic panels, wash-water recovery and the insulated hillside build cut around 60 tonnes of CO2 a year; that capital investment sits in every Vinosia bottle, this one included.
Dishes that complement this wine
Vinosia points Fontana della Loggia at raw fish and shellfish, and Vivino's crowd ranks shellfish its top match. Bright acidity, a saline mineral streak and jasmine-led aromatics drive every pairing below.
Vinosia's own sheet points this wine at raw seafood, and the acidity works like a squeeze of lemon over oysters and cold poached shellfish. At 13.5% with no oak it refreshes rather than coats, and the saline minerality from those sandy Avellino soils echoes the brine.
Try with: Oysters · Potted Shrimp · Baccala Mantecato · More pairings →
Salt-forward shellfish meets its match in a wine whose minerality reads saline; the producer traces it to calcium-carbonate-rich vineyard soil. Impepata di cozze is the natural Campanian call, black pepper and mussel brine against citrus and wet stone.
Try with: Impepata di cozze · Cozze arraganate · Fregula ai frutti di mare · More pairings →
The jasmine and citrus aromatics in the producer's description bridge straight to basil-led plates from Falanghina's home region. Buffalo mozzarella's milky weight also gives the bright acidity something to cut, so Caprese and a classic Margherita both work.
Try with: Insalata Caprese · Pizza Margherita · Trofie al pesto · More pairings →
Medium bodied with medium persistence by the producer's own account, this Falanghina matches the weight of delicate steamed or grilled fish instead of overwhelming it. The dried Mediterranean herb note James Suckling found in the 2024 picks up herb-dressed preparations.
Try with: Steamed sea bass · Pesce spada alla Siciliana · Brodetto alla giuliese · More pairings →
Cold maceration and cool steel fermentation keep the acidity vibrant, per Vinosia's sheet, exactly what frying oil needs. It scrubs the palate between bites of tempura, salt and pepper prawns or fried dough, keeping the citrus and kiwi fruit in front.
Try with: Prawn Tempura · Salt and pepper prawns · Gnocco fritto
Capsaicin heat amplifies the 13.5% alcohol and flattens the jasmine and citrus aromatics that define this bottle. Sugary sweet-and-sour glazes read cloying against a bone-dry mineral palate, and a rich meat ragu simply outweighs a medium-bodied white.

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-raised with two months on fine lees and no ageing mandate under Irpinia DOC; Vinosia's freshness-first vinification argues for drinking within about three years of harvest, not cellaring.
£15.96 is the lowest tracked offer for the current vintage and we have no signal of further discounting.

Confidence · MediumIt is 100% Falanghina, grown in the Avellino hills of Irpinia in Campania. Vinosia farms sandy, calcium-carbonate-rich vineyard soils near Paternopoli, and the estate's technical sheet credits that soil for the wine's mineral edge.
Expect lime, grapefruit, kiwi and a jasmine floral note over a dry, mineral palate of medium persistence, per the producer's own description. James Suckling's note on the 2024 adds dried Mediterranean herbs, white nectarine and sliced apple, and Vivino drinkers most often mention green apple, pear and stony minerality.
Vinosia points it at raw seafood and shellfish, and shellfish tops the crowd pairings on Vivino. Peppered mussels (impepata di cozze), oysters, seafood fregula, insalata Caprese and pizza Margherita all play to its acidity and saline minerality.
Eurowines lists the 2025 vintage at £15.96 a bottle, sold in six-bottle cases at £95.76 including VAT. In Italy it retails around 11.70 euros, so the UK price mostly reflects duty, VAT and shipping.
Drink it young. It is fermented and aged only in stainless steel with about two months on fine lees, so the citrus and jasmine aromatics are the point; aim to drink within roughly three years of the vintage, served at 12 to 14C.
No. The producer's sheet specifies cold maceration at 8 to 10C, cool fermentation with selected yeasts and about two months on fine lees in stainless steel tanks, with no barrel ageing, which keeps the profile fresh, citrus-led and mineral.
