Sant'Agata de' Goti: Historic Cellars and Falanghina Wine Tasting
Descend 16 meters underground into the birthplace of one of Campania's most celebrated wines.
This guided cellar visit takes you into the ancient underground vaults of Sant'Agata de' Goti, where Falanghina wine tasting is elevated into a genuine journey through history, tradition, and terroir. You will move through barrel-lined passageways carved deep beneath the town, uncovering the origins of a wine that helped define the identity of Campania and the Benevento province.
The cellars themselves are the centerpiece of the experience. At 16 meters below ground, the air holds the quiet weight of generations of winemaking, and the barrels and bottles that line the walls are a living archive of the craft. Visitors have the rare opportunity to observe the first real bottle of Falanghina ever produced, a singular artifact that anchors the entire tradition.
After the underground visit, the tasting brings everything together. Three vintages of Falanghina are presented, each reflecting a different year and character, accompanied by bruschetta prepared with local products and extra virgin olive oil. The setting is warm, traditional, and deliberately unhurried, with ambient music completing the atmosphere.
