Falerno Riserva Particolare Cantine Cenatiempo 1966
Falerno Riserva Particolare is a dry red wine produced and bottled by Cantine Cenatiempo. The wine comes from the Falerno area in southern Italy and carries the quality designation Riserva Particolare. It is also part of the Enoselezione Vini d'Italia selection.
The wine comes from the Campania region, which is a true archaeological and geological treasure trove for wine. With the active volcano Vesuvius as a neighbour, the soil here is exceptionally rich in ash and minerals. Campania is home to some of Italy's noblest white wines such as Fiano di Avellino and Greco di Tufo, as well as the powerful red wine Taurasi, which is based on the Aglianico grape and is often referred to as "the Barolo of the South".
This edition from the 196 vintage was made by Cantine Cenatiempo, which is based in Formia. The wine is bottled in a bottle with a content of 720 ml and has an alcohol content of 12.5%.
