It is made from a \u003cstrong\u003eblend of Aglianico and Piedirosso\u003c\/strong\u003e, presenting in the glass with a deep ruby red colour. On the nose, it reveals an \u003cstrong\u003eintense and complex bouquet\u003c\/strong\u003e, dominated by notes of violet, black fruits, blackberry and raspberry, enriched with spicy nuances, tobacco and delicate hints of humus. On the palate, it offers a \u003cstrong\u003ewarm and enveloping structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the persistence of soft tannins blends perfectly with a distinct mineral imprint and a pleasant toasted aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine has its roots in the hillside vineyards of the San Castrese estate, located in the municipality of Cellole. The vines grow at around one hundred and forty metres above sea level on the slopes of the \u003cstrong\u003eextinct volcano of Roccamonfina\u003c\/strong\u003e, a territory with a millennia-old winemaking tradition, praised since classical literature. The \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, particularly rich in phosphorus, potassium and trace elements, nourish the plants and give the wine its unmistakable savouriness. The rigorous selection of bunches directly in the vineyard allows the \u003cstrong\u003ehistoric territorial identity\u003c\/strong\u003e of this renowned Campanian area to be fully expressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest takes place in two distinct phases in October, respecting the ripening times of Aglianico and Piedirosso. After destemming and crushing, the must undergoes \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e for about twenty to twenty-five days at a controlled temperature, supported by daily pump-overs and délestage to optimally extract colour and aromas. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine begins its maturation: part rests in \u003cstrong\u003eAllier oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the other part matures in \u003cstrong\u003etraditional Slavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. This process concludes with careful \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e, which gives the wine its final balance and remarkable longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamous since ancient times and praised by the poet Virgil, \u003cstrong\u003eFalerno del Massico\u003c\/strong\u003e represents a fundamental piece of wine history.
