This is a historic wine with roots that go so far back in time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Falerno is one of the oldest wines known to mankind. Indeed, white Falerno wines were especially well-loved by the inhabitants of ancient Rome. The Villa Matilde 2016 Falerno del Massico Vigna Caracci opens to a brilliant golden hue with rich aromas of sweet nectarine, honey and poached pear. This is a generous mid-weight wine that wraps smoothly over the palate and dispenses just the right level of acidity and minerality to keep these results glossy and bright. The old vines in the Caracci vineyard deliver exceptionally balanced results in this gorgeous vintage. This is a true standout. 15,000 bottles were produced.
