Vinosia's hand-picked Irpinia Falanghina from sandy, calcium-rich soils near Paternopoli. Lime, grapefruit and jasmine over a steel-raised stony palate; two months on fine spent yeast add texture. Built for raw seafood, about 16 pounds in the UK.

Vinosia's technical sheet promises lime, grapefruit, kiwi and jasmine from cold-soaked Falanghina kept two months on fine spent yeast. Green apple, citrus and a stony line follow in the glass, and it is a well-liked everyday white.
Lime and grapefruit lead, the citrus line Vinosia's own technical sheet promises, with kiwi and a jasmine floral note. James Suckling's note on the 2024 adds dried Mediterranean herbs, white nectarine and sliced apple. Green apple and pear sit alongside the citrus.

Wet stonesDry and medium bodied, with vibrant acidity. The grapes are picked by hand in the first ten days of October and fermented cool in stainless steel. Two months on fine spent yeast add gentle texture without blurring the salty, stony signature of sandy, calcium-rich soil in the Avellino hills.
Clean and stony rather than long: the persistence is medium, closing on wet stone 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. A well-liked everyday white that delivers exactly what the sheet promises: freshness, saltiness and shellfish-friendly drive. Drink it young.
Eurowines sells 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. It is 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. They also weigh the steel-only winemaking 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 salty, stony streak Vinosia traces to sandy Avellino soils make this a raw-seafood and shellfish white by design.
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.
At £15.96 from Eurowines against an 11.70 euro Italian shelf price, and well liked without being exceptional, it sits mid-band for UK-landed Campanian whites.
A £15.96 DOC white from a respected Irpinia estate reads as a generous casual-dinner pour, not a statement bottle. Vinosia's Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino DOCG take that role.
Steel-raised with two months on fine spent yeast and no ageing mandate under Irpinia DOC. Vinosia's freshness-first winemaking argues for drinking within about three years of harvest, not cellaring.
Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.
A compact view of what the Irpinia denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
The current UK release is the 2025, hand picked in the first ten days of October and bottled young after two months on fine spent yeast. Steel-raised Falanghina is made for early drinking, although drinkers like the 2022 best of recent vintages.
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 farms between 380 and 550 metres. Luciano Ercolino founded the estate in 2004 after his years at Feudi di San Gregorio. The producer credits sandy, calcium-carbonate-rich soil for this wine's stony 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.

Open the driveMade at Vinosia, Paternopoli.
Wine route in the zone: Irpinia DOCG circuit.
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 is 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 spent yeast. That keeps cellar overheads well below oak-aged whites.
Fontana della Loggia carries Irpinia DOC rather than Greco di Tufo or Fiano di Avellino DOCG papers. That is one reason it sells at £15.96 while Vinosia's two DOCG whites sell 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 go with this wine
Vinosia points Fontana della Loggia at raw fish and shellfish, and shellfish is its top match. Bright acidity, a salty stony 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 salty, stony streak 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 stony streak reads salty, a mark of 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 in the 2024 picks up herb-dressed preparations.
Try with: Steamed sea bass · Pesce spada alla Siciliana · Brodetto alla giuliese · More pairings →
A cold soak 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
Chilli 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 stony palate, and a rich meat ragu simply outweighs a medium-bodied white.

Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
Steel-raised with two months on fine spent yeast and no ageing mandate under Irpinia DOC. Vinosia's freshness-first winemaking argues for drinking within about three years of harvest, not cellaring.
£14.00 for a 75cl bottle of the 2025, at Xtrawine, is the best price we track, 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 stony edge.
Expect lime, grapefruit, kiwi and a jasmine floral note over a dry, stony palate of medium persistence, per the producer's own description. Dried Mediterranean herbs, white nectarine and sliced apple show in the 2024, and green apple, pear and wet stone are the notes most drinkers mention.
Vinosia points it at raw seafood and shellfish, and shellfish is its top match. Peppered mussels (impepata di cozze), oysters, seafood fregula, insalata Caprese and pizza Margherita all play to its acidity and salty, stony streak.
Eurowines sells the 2025 vintage at £15.96 a bottle, 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 spent yeast, 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 a cold soak at 8 to 10C and a cool fermentation with selected yeasts. The wine then spends about two months on fine spent yeast in stainless steel tanks, with no barrel ageing. That keeps the profile fresh, citrus-led and stony.
