Roccamonfina is an extinct volcano in northern Campania – between Caserta and the border with Lazio, a few kilometres from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its slopes are volcanic, rich in phosphorus, potassium and microelements, and for decades have been home to the indigenous grape varieties that have characterised this coastal landscape. Piedirosso – "red foot", after the characteristic red stems of the plant – is one of them: fresh, aromatic, with a mineral lightness that no other red wine in Campania can match. Villa Matilde Avallone, known for its Falerno del Massico classics, has created the Stregamora – the dark witch – a wine that shows the character of this volcano in its most accessible form. Hand-picked at the beginning of October, cold maceration, fermentation at 24°C for around 15 days, malolactic fermentation, three months ageing in steel.

Bright ruby red with violet reflections. Amarena, ribes, blueberry, roses and violets on the nose. Juicy and velvety on the palate, carried by a fresh, volcanic lightness – with a long, fragrant finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"This pale and fruity red has aromas of strawberries and crushed raspberries. Medium-bodied, soft and juicy. Drink now." James Suckling
