Il Poggio Falanghina Guerriero Beneventano 2024

Il Poggio has been in the Fusco family’s hands for generations. These folks aren’t managing a brand —they’re true stewards of something their family has built and taken care of for almost two hundred years. That matters when you taste the wine.

The winery sits in Sannio, a little-known corner of southern Campania that honestly doesn’t get nearly the respect it deserves. It’s inland, not easy to reach, with steep hills everywhere. But that’s exactly why it works for wine. The ancient Greeks knew it, the Samnites fought over it, the Romans understood it. All that history is baked into the terroir.

Today, two ambitious brothers, Carmine and Marco Fusco, run the place alongside their families, growing native grapes and making serious wine from a region most people have never heard of. That’s the kind of authenticity you can taste in the bottle.
