Falanghina del Sannio - Kissos - Cantine Tora

Cantine Tora's Falanghina del Sannio DOC Kissos is a white wine that tells two thousand years of Campania's winemaking history in a single sip. The name "Kissos" — ivy in Ancient Greek — is an explicit tribute to the Greek roots of this grape variety, brought to Campania by Greek settlers and preserved through the centuries thanks to the determination of the Samnite farmers, even when the wine industry had almost forgotten it.

Cantine Tora produces this Falanghina from vineyards cultivated on the clay and limestone hills of the Benevento area of Sannio, at over 400 meters above sea level, where the continental climate with significant temperature variations preserves the grape's aromatic freshness and natural acidity. The wine is made in stainless steel at a controlled temperature to preserve all its varietal aromas.

The result is an immediately enjoyable and surprisingly complex white wine: brilliant straw yellow in color with greenish highlights. On the nose, it is lively and inviting, with notes of chamomile flowers, white peach, apricot, citrus fruits (lemon, citron), and a light hint of fresh almond. On the palate, it is fresh and savory, with beautiful acidity that balances its softness and leads to a clean, persistent finish with floral and fruity notes. Despite its apparent lightness, it has the structure to stand up to substantial food pairings.

Perfect as a refined aperitif or paired with all of Campania's seafood cuisine — from Cetara anchovies to pasta with clams.
