Old School, New Concept

Donnachiara's new Concept winery is located in Montefalcione (Avellino), with vineyards that stretch along the hills that are typical of the Irpinia. The winery's location is south-central Italy, east of Naples. Donnachiara produces white wines and red wines of high quality including Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino, Taurasi DOCG and also sparkling wines like Santè Falanghina.

Donnachiara is a family owned and operated business, relying on values that only a family can express. Five generations of experience in quality wine means a wealth of knowledge, proper care and attachment to one’s work that exceed the economic return of any single project.

Another key aspect of the Donnachiara philosophy is the attention to the environment. The sensitivity to the culture and the concern for the landscape.  We pay strict attention to detail and  respect nature and sustainable production. For nearly a decade, “integrated management” has been the rule. This strategy eliminates plant disease. Our energy needs are produced by solar power at the winery. Water is recycled even though there is an  abundance of local springs. The vines are tended like window boxes even though the locations can be distinctly challenging. This process makes for superior vines, grapes, and ultimately, wines.

James Suckling rates the 2013 Donnachiara Falanghina Beneventano at 92 points: "Beautiful aromas of mangoes, dried papaya and hints of cream follow through to a full body with dried apples and minerals. Lots of lemon zest. Excellent Falanghina. Drink now."

Made from 100% Falanghina grapes, this pairs with pasta with light sauces, seafood and fresh cheese. Only $9.99 in the Bottle Club®.
