Falerno Del Massico Italian Red
A Campania red with old roots and a firm, savory grip.
The story behind Falerno Del Massico
Falerno Del Massico is a small appellation in northern Campania, near the border with Lazio, and its reds are built on Aglianico. That grape is the backbone of southern Italy: late ripening, thick skinned, and naturally high in acid and tannin. Expect a deep, savory red with dark cherry, dried herb, and a firm, grippy finish rather than a soft, fruity one.
We keep this one in Commack as a single bottle find, so what you see is what we have. It rewards a little air and a plate of something roasted.
