- Bold flavours of white peach and apricot give way to notes of citrus and an appealing mineral streak. The palate is rich and well structured and the finish leaves a subtle yet lingering flavour of sweet almonds.
Today, the winery has been taken over by Francesco Paolo's son Salvatore and daughter Maria-Ida, in 2000 Tenuta Rocca dei Leoni (a vineyard in the San Nio district of Benevento), and in 2004 Tenute di Alta. We have launched two vineyards called Villa (a vineyard in the Irpinia district of the province of Avellino). This new project marks the beginning of a new chapter in which Villa Matilde, born from the land of Farerno, tells the identity of Campania, a rich land called "Campania Felix" in ancient Rome.
The story of Villa Matilde began in the 1960s as the passion project of Neapolitan lawyer, Francesco Paolo Avallone. His vision was guided by an abiding interest in Falernum, a wine best described as the “first growth” of the Roman Empire and his tireless work and research into its history ultimately led to the creation of the modern-day DOC of Falerno del Massico in 1989. A similarly passionate approach is applied to the rest of their range and aside from Falerno, they produce stellar examples of Campanian wines from their vineyards in the prime areas of upper Caserta, the Sannio near Benevento and Irpinia. Today, the winery is managed by Avallone’s children, who have single-mindedly dedicated themselves to continuing their father’s dream.
