Cantine Federiciane Flegreo Spumante Di Falanghina is part of the Cuvee Metropolitano project.

The territory of Naples, among many others, has two precious peculiarities: the first is that it is in second place in Europe, after Vienna, for the number of hectares dedicated to vineyards. Posillipo, Agnano, Vomero and Chiaiano are the areas most affected.

The second characteristic is that it is, together with its province, one of the few areas in the world that, thanks to the volcanic make-up of the land, the ravages of Phylloxera were kept at bay, meaning the use of American rootstock to combat the louse was never used.
A rarity that, in recent years, has been increasingly appreciated by oenologists and wine lovers, because it is able to preserve the purity of the vines and the tradition of the cultivation method.

Cantine Federiciane is a fourth generation family run winery in which every family member has an important role to play. Paolo & Pina Palumbo the parents, together with Marco, Antonio & Luca.

Luca manages the winemaking, Marco managing the cellar and Antonio the Marketing.
