Villa Matilde is in the heart of an ancient land, once considered the vegetable garden and vineyard of the Roman Empire, nestled between the sea and an extinct volcano. On these soft and sunny hills are Villa Matilde’s rows of the oldest vineyards of Aglianico, Falanghina and Piedirossa, that have made the history of the winery. In 2009 Villa Matilde launched "Zero Emissions", an integrated project for the protection of the environment. In the words of the founder, Francesco Paolo Avallone, “Wine is a work of art for us: Our wines create emotions and are the result of agricultural work and noninvasive wine making. As wine producers we draw on the natural resources, we emphasize grape varieties and terroir. This way we become, together with our wines, part of the environmental, geological and climatic context.”
This Aglianico offers intense, long-lingering impressions of spice, wild blackberries, and ripe red berry fruit. The palate is warm, full-bodied, and velvet-smooth.
