Vintage Character The 2020 vintage of Guastaferro Campania Bianco Fulgeo, from the Campania IGT appellation, showcases the vibrant character of southern Italy’s volcanic terroir. Benefiting from a warm, sunny growing season with limited rainfall, the grapes reached optimal ripeness, resulting in a wine with expressive fruit and balanced acidity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 90 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, Fulgeo is crafted primarily from Greco and Falanghina, offering a radiant straw-yellow color and an enticing bouquet of ripe citrus, white peach, and acacia blossom, complemented by mineral undertones that evoke the region’s volcanic soils. On the palate, it delivers crisp, lively acidity and a gentle texture, revealing layers of lemon zest, golden apple, and subtle almond. The clean, persistent finish makes it a versatile choice for food pairings, such as grilled prawns, burrata with cherry tomatoes, or Cantonese steamed fish, all of which highlight the wine’s bright flavors and refreshing style.
