Vigna Camarato Falerno del Massico Dop Riserva 2011 75 cl Villa Matilde

VM VCAM

Made only in the finest growing years with grapes from the vineyard of the same name, one of the San Castrese estate's oldest and best-aspected vineyards, planted on the slopes of the extinct Roccamonfina volcano.

Showing a dark, deep red, it vaunts an emphatic, long-lingering bouquet of black and red wild berryfruit, black pepper, chocolate, espresso bean, and vanilla, complemented by a palate that is warm and dry. This is a complex, elegant, and powerful wine.
