Caratteristiche

From the volcanic land of the Campi Flegrei, a fascinating territory full of history and myth in which the wine roots date back to the Greek era, was born Kairós. The name Falanghina comes from the need to tie the screw to support poles that were called "falange". Kairós is harmony, opportunity, essence. The denomination DOC gives delicate and very characteristic wines with light aromas of white flowers and exotic fruit and distinct flavor on the palate. In particular, this autochthonous white grape variety, located at 130 m asl, enjoys proximity to the sea, sea breeze and sandy soil. Method of free-standing cultivation and guyot pruning. The Phlegrean vines are among the few left immune to the devastating attack of phylloxera, it is thought to be due to the volcanic texture of the soil. "... It is an invigorating area with a constantly mild and healthy climate, fertile fields, sunny hills and ventilated mountains, such an abundance of wines and olive trees..." Thus Pliny identified the Campi Flegrei in his "Naturalis Historiae"
