Villa Matilde

Fresh Falanghina from the heart of Sannio Benevento. Pale yellow with fruity and floral notes of pineapple, banana, peach, a touch of pink broom and sage. Balanced and pleasantly smooth on the palate. Very nice as an aperitif and with light dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

"On the nose, aromas of sweet cream and white flowers combine with mineral grit. The 2022 Falanghina Roccaleoni opens with a soft texture, almost creamy, with a depth of ripe fruit trees and candied lime. The 2022 finishes remarkably fresh with admirable length and concentration of citrus." Vinous

Delicate salmon pink. Fine bouquet of sour cherry, small black berries with floral notes. Round on the palate with good volume, very drinkable and fresh on the finish. Ideal with light fish dishes and buffalo mozzarella. SUPERIORE.DE

The Greco di Tufo has an intense and persistent aroma of white peach, apricot, almond oil and citrus with restrained mineral notes. The flavour is powerful, fresh and rich. A wine with character and strong typicity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh and limey citrus with a hint of seashell minerality and green apples. Simple but bone-dry and fresh on the palate, with a lovely phenolic note and a chalky finish. Drink now." James Suckling

"The Villa Matilde Avallone 2022 Greco di Tufo Tenuta Pietrafusa Daltavilla is a pretty wine that shows the character and clarity of the Greco grape, here lightly complemented by gentle notes of apple, pear and exotic vanilla from a hot vintage. It offers a medium richness and good creaminess with plenty of mineral sensations and a fresh acidity that rounds out the wine." Wine Advocate

Falerno del Massico Bianco is a young, single-varietal Falanghina with a lively bouquet and has always been a classic of the region. Full-bodied and cheerful on the palate, finely balanced and with a dry finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Expressive bouquet with notes of yellow fruits and hazelnut, then aromas of exotic fruits and honey. Wonderfully persistent and elegant on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

Rosso Falerno del Massico presents an intense aroma of black raspberries, cloves, rosemary and a hint of camphor. It fills the palate with soft, fleshy textures and ripe red berries, contrasted by salty mineral tones and nuanced tannins. The finish is long and lightly textured, with hints of purple-tinted floral notes. This is once again a beautiful vintage of Villa Matilde's Falerno del Massico Rosso, which is mainly Aglianico with a small amount of Piedirosso. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Falerno del Massico is rich and expressive. A cooling smoke hint offsets its crushed blackberry and cherry bouquet. This washes across the palate with ease, juicy and fruit-focused, with lively acidity that maintains freshness throughout. It finishes gently tannic with a twang of tart wild blueberries and sour citrus hints. The Falerno del Massico is always one of my favorite bottlings from Villa Matilde for its balanced structure and vivid fruit profile." Vinous

This red classic comes from marl- and clay-rich soils from the high and steep hills near Taurasi, not far from the Tyrrhenian Sea. The soils are rich in minerals and salts and give the Aglianico grape a wonderful depth and minerality.

The nose of Taurasi Pietrafusa is savoury and intense, with notes of crushed blackberries, citrus fruits, stones, sage and a stimulating mint. On the palate, the soft texture gains richness as it flows over the senses with notes of ripe black fruits, salty minerals and sweet herbal notes. The finish is long and structured, showing the wine's tannic power mixed with resonant acids and lingering dark fruits. This is a wine that can be cellared for five to ten years, but also has what it takes to last another decade. SUPERIORE.DE

"Ripe, sweet cherries, dried cranberries, cinnamon and Christmas spices. Medium-bodied and supple on the palate with soft tannins and juicy, ripe berries. A lighter expression of the Taurasi. A little more depth would take it to the next level." James Suckling

"The Villa Matilde Avallone 2017 Taurasi Tenuta Pietrafusa was born in a scorching hot vintage but manages surprising elegance nonetheless with a pretty mineral tone of crushed stone that frames black cherry, plum and soft spice. The intensity of all those aromas balances out nicely. The finish is not too long, but that leanness works in favor of the wine's food-friendly disposition." Wine Advocate

Cecubo is a historic cuvée of Abbuoto, Primitivo and Piedirosso, among others, which was already highly appreciated by the ancient Romans. The expressive bouquet has nuances of wild berries, figs, vanilla and incense. The full-bodied taste and the medium body offer an interesting interplay between elegance and power. SUPERIORE.DE
