Villa Matilde Tenute di Altavilla Fiano di Avellino 2019 (750ml) RotgipflerFrancesco Paolo Avallone founded the estate in the early 1960s. A lawyer by profession, his passionate interest in the classics led him to investigate a 3000 year old wine favored by ancient Roman poets and emperors the immortal Falerno.

Today, twenty original clones of the three varieties are trademarked as Villa
