Casa Setaro Campanelle Falanghina 2023

Massimo Setaro is seeking to transform the zone’s reputation and bring the wines of Vesuvio the modern-day recognition he feels they deserve. Vesuvio viticulture is dominated by small, relatively disconnected farmers whose wines are commonly geared toward the area’s robust tourist market and aren’t as prominent on the world stage as neighboring volcanic wines from Mt. Etna in Sicily. Casa Setaro’s bright, clean, smoke-kissed Falanghina comes from vines planted at 250 meters altitude in Vesuvio National Park, in the commune of Bosco del Monaco. It ferments in stainless steel for around 20 days, then spends six months on its fine lees in steel and an additional two months in bottle before being released.
