2018 Villa Matilde Falerno del Massico Bianco
2018 Villa Matilde Falerno del Massico Bianco This Falanghina has of straw yellow color. A deep and elegant bouquet offers hints of ripe fruits, including pineapple, banana, yellow peach, Williams’ pear, broom and rose blossoms. On the palate, you will taste delicate notes of sage and vanilla, mixed with a slight hint of almonds. The balanced, velvety, rich and persistent flavour displays remarkable refinement and personality.
The headquarters and main winery of Villa Matilde are located between Rome and Naples, about an hour’s drive north of Naples along the coastline.This area was once called “Falerno” and has been known as “Ager Falernus” since the time of the ancient Roman Empire, and it is made of olive oil, vegetables and high-quality wine. It was a famous land as a production area.
Today, the winery has been taken over by Francesco Paolo’s son Salvatore and daughter Maria-Ida, in 2000 Tenuta Rocca dei Leoni (a vineyard in the San Nio district of Benevento), and in 2004 Tenute di Alta. We have launched two vineyards called Villa (a vineyard in the Irpinia district of the province of Avellino). This new project marks the beginning of a new chapter in which Villa Matilde, born from the land of Farerno, tells the identity of Campania, a rich land called “Campania Felix” in ancient Rome.
