The “Donnalaura” from Masseria Frattasi is produced in the beautiful estate of Montesarchio and Bonea, in the province of Benevento. We are at the foot of the Taburno Massif, in an area with a cool continental climate, characterized by clayey soils rich in ancient volcanic deposits. Mount Taburno protects the vines from the cold northern winds, and the gentle breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea rise from the sea, moderating the temperatures. Thanks to the temperature swings between day and night, the grapes ripen with particularly rich aromatic profiles. The Falanghina vineyards are cultivated at an altitude between 300 and 400 meters above sea level, on steep slopes that descend from the mountain down to the valley. At the end of the harvest, the grapes undergo a cold pre-fermentation maceration, followed by a delicate pressing to extract the free-run must. The fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine matures for a few months in steel before being put on sale.
