This dynamic co-op hired the services of celebrated winemaker Riccardo Cotarella, and he has overseen the adoption of a more sustainable approach to winemaking, with minimal intervention. Falanghina may not be held in the same esteem as Campania's Greco di Tufo white grape, but it's famously fresh and fruity in style. Sourced from multiple plots, on a mix of sandy and volcanic soils, this new Majestic listing has a good weight and structure, a streak of minerality, and aromas of ripe pear, citrus and white flowers. Very easy sipping wine, 6g/L residual sugar but not intrusive. (Mix-six price: £8.99)
