Falanghina, also called Falanghina Greco, is a variety of wine grape, Vitis vinifera, used for white wines. It is an ancient grape variety which may have provided a basis for the classical Falernian wine, and has considerable character.[1] It is cultivated on the coast of Campania north of Naples,[1] and frequently consumed in southern Italy along with seafood.[2] The name for the wine appears to derive from the Latin falangae, or stakes for supporting the grapes in a vineyard.[3] In November 2014 Falanghina was approved as a recognized varietal by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau for use in the United States.
