Bàja
Bàja takes us back to Enzo's birthplace. It is a Falanghina from the Campi Flegrei area, selected and produced for Poggio la Noce.
Bàja, inspired by the legend of Bajos, a companion of Ulysses, is our unique Falanghina. Grown on a promontory overlooking the sea in Baia, within Campi Flegrei, its coastal vines and volcanic soil create a wine of profound minerality and savory depth.
