Falerno del Massico

Denominazione d'Origine Controllata

The Falerno del Massico is a DOC wine whose production is allowed in the northern part of the province of Caserta, called ager falernus, territory in the province of Caserta corresponding to the current municipalities of Mondragone, Falciano del Massico, Carinola, Sessa Aurunca and Cellole.

As for its elder brother Rampaniuci, our Falerno del Massico is obtained from the vinification of the Aglianico, Piedirosso and Primitivo grapes harvested in our vineyards. The result is a wine with a ruby color and an intense and characteristic aroma, with hints of black fruit.

Ideal with a juicy black little pork fillet accompanied by "porcini" mushrooms.
