The territory
The land on which Vitis Aurunca stands is a canvas painted with unique shades of fertility: soils that change from being friable and light to rich and clayey, forming a mosaic of ideal conditions for viticulture. The exceptional climate, which combines solar radiation with the sea breeze, completes this picture, giving the vines what they need to thrive. The dynamic interaction between these diversified soils, rich in nutrients at times and capable of perfect water retention, together with a favorable microclimate, translates into a vital environment for the expansion of the vineyards and for the exaltation of the distinctive qualities of the Falerno del Massico.
Today, the territory of Falerno del Massico includes the municipalities of Carinola, Falciano del Massico, Sessa Aurunca, Cellole and Mondragone. These locations benefit from the proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the volcanic fertility of the soil, elements that give the Falerno del Massico wine peculiar characteristics. Controlled denomination of origin wines produced in this area include Falerno del Massico Rosso, Falerno del Massico Primitivo, Falerno del Massico Bianco and Falerno del Massico 'riserva' or 'vecchio'.
The winemaking tradition of Falerno, so closely intertwined with the history and culture of ancient Rome, continues to live on in the present, carrying forward a legacy of excellence and prestige. The fusion of this ancient history with modern winemaking techniques has allowed Falerno del Massico Vitis Aurunca to maintain its legendary status, making it a gem in the world wine scene. This wine, which was once the favorite of the Roman elite, has today adapted to modern palates, while maintaining its unique character and its deep connection with the past.
Plant and animal biodiversity find refuge in this land: from native essences to the mammals and birds that populate the fields, the company is a microcosm of life. The attention paid to agronomic practices and pest monitoring contribute to the health of crops without compromising the environment. Ethics permeate every aspect of the company: from respect for people and nature, to the transparency of production processes, up to the healthiness of the final products. In every glass of Falerno del Massico, you can taste a rich history, an uninterrupted link between generous nature and man, the custodian of a thousand-year-old legacy.
