Falerno del Massico Dop 2017 75 cl Villa Matilde

VM FB

Falanghina, the ancient Romans’ "vinum album Phalanginum," makes the monovarietal Falerno del Massico Bianco.

Straw yellow, its elegant, generous bouquet offers well-ripened fruit, including bananas, yellow peach, Williams’s pear, confectioner's cream, broom and rose blossoms, and delicate notes of sage and vanilla.

The palate, velvety, rich, and long-lasting, displays remarkable refinement and personality.
