Paternoster Falanghina 'VULCANICO' Bianco Basilicata IGT 2024

Organic Classic White

Falanghina (600m Above Sea Level, Volcanic soils, direct press, ferment & age in stainless 5 months lees)

Mt Vulture, Basilicata, ITALY

Vulcanico by name, volcanic by nature. This is Falanghina grown high on the slopes of Mount Vulture in Basilicata, southern Italy. An ancient volcano, long asleep, still humming under the surface with mineral tension and quiet power.

This is a white that feels elemental. Direct-pressed and aged in stainless on lees for five months, it has that clean, linear shape with just enough texture to hold your attention. Lime peel, green almond, white peach and smoke-kissed stone. The kind of wine that makes you pause mid-conversation and say, wait, what is this?

Paternoster has been doing this since 1925. Organic farming, no flash, no shortcuts. Just high-altitude fruit and generations of quiet confidence.

If you’ve been looking for a proper premium Italian white with real pedigree and volcanic bite, this is the one.

Serve it cold, pair it with seafood, and tell your more expensive Chardonnay to take the night off.
