An open, floral bouquet leads to pears and white peaches as the 2011 Falerno del Massico Bianco opens up in the glass. A beautifully nuanced, layered white, the Falerno del Massico Bianco impresses for its balance and overall sense of harmony. There is plenty of intensity in the aromas and flavors, but no sense of excess weight. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2015. Villa Matilde excels with a wide range of wines. The house style favors textural richness and depth. At times, varietal expression can take a bit of a back seat, but the wines more than compensate for that with their extraordinary personalitites. In particular, I found a number of the reds to be simply dazzling this year. Many of these wines are also great values. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
