Falanghina del Sannio DOC
The name Falanghina probably derives from the use of poles called "phalanx" which since ancient times were used to support the vines. Although having written testimonies only from the mid-nineteenth century, experts maintain that it is a contemporary vine with respect to Fiano and Greco, which date back to the first century BC.
