Occupying a sort of middle ground between Greco and Fiano, literally and figuratively, is Falanghina. It borrows some of the piney fragrance of Fiano and some of the juiciness of Greco to create a refreshing, mostly coastal white. Corte di Giso is the name of the vineyard in Gesualdo, in province of Avellino. The town takes its name from “Gis-wald”, a valorous Longobard knight. “Corte” refers to the court of Gesualdo castle in the Middle Ages. Prince Carlo Gesualdo was used to invite many important poets and writers to his court, like his friend Torquato Tasso. Gesualdo himself composed various madrigals in the castle.
