La Sibilla

La Sibilla is a family-owned project established in 1997 by the di Meos, fifth-generation vine-growers who had previously been selling grapes and wine in bulk to merchants. Their 9.5 hectares of vines are situated in the unique but barely-known DOC Campi Flegrei, a tiny 200-hectare terrain wedged between Napoli and its coast that comprises a total of 23 wine producers. Here, the intensely volcanic soils make for Falanghina unlike any other – strongly mineral, salty, and smoky – wines of unforgettable character and persistence.

The di Meos were blessed by their ancestors with the enviable gift of a wonderful spread of old vines, some of which were planted nearly 100 years ago. Their vineyards face southwest and are rooted in sandy, ashy, pumice-based volcanic soils, distinct from the lava-originated soils of Etna or Vesuvius. This unique terroir lends a special intensity to their wines.

No fuss winemaking is the order of the day. Their whites are simply fermented and aged sur lie in tank without any wood, resulting in the purest, most crystalline and mineral examples of Falanghina we can ever remember tasting. The 2021 Falanghina has lovely balance and approachability; savoury initially, with aromas of flint, stone, smoke, and basalt. The palate culminates in a fruity, voluptuous, and alluring finish – bursting with character.
