Falerno del Massico Bianco DOP 2024
Trade Tools
Italy / Campania
From the 100% Falanghina of the ancient Romans ("vinum album Phalanginum") is born the Falerno del Massico Bianco DOC of Villa Matilde. In the sixties, Francesco Paolo Avallone decided to bring back the legendary disappeared wine, identifying the grape varieties that had given birth to Falerno in Roman times. Few strains, which survived miraculously to the devastation of the late 19th century phylloxera, were replanted with the help of some local farmers, right in the native land of Massico, where these grapes had once prospered.
Harvest Note
The 2024 harvest was influenced by a dry, hot summer followed by September rains, which helped regulate grape ripening. While overall yields were slightly below average, the late-season weather favored sugar concentration and phenolic development, benefiting white varieties. Producers anticipate that the 2024 vintage will yield high-quality white wines with excellent aromatic profiles and aging potential.
Tasting Note
Straw yellow color with a deep, elegant bouquet. Aromas of pineapple, mango, passion fruit, green apple, tangerine and peach.
