DE FALCO WINERY - TAURASI DOC
From Cantine De Falco one of the fine wines
Cantine De Falco is a modern company, faithful to millenary winemaking traditions, in the heart of the Vesuvius national park. Aglianico is a native grape variety widespread throughout Southern Italy where it expresses itself with great typicality. The Aglianico di Taurasi wine was the first to be given the denomination of controlled and guaranteed origin (Docg).
Aglianico is a grumpy grape variety. It ripens very late, it is intense in the beginning, difficult to grow and very difficult to make wine. Equipped with tannins that take time to soften and acidity that ensures the time necessary for it to be smoothed. The hints of violets, black cherries, undergrowth and small fruits are inimitable. But it is the winemaking method that can make it banal or excellent.

The Taurasi DOCG production area embraces a series of hills or foothills between 400 and 700 meters above sea level that accompany the course of the Calore and are part of the Apennine ridge. The high presence of clay preserves the soils from summer drought and therefore allows a more regular ripening of the grapes and a normal level of acidity. The richness in potassium and magnesium gives the wines intensity of aromas, good structure and balance.
The new plants, then, replace the traditional "alberata taurasina" breeding (of the Etruscan school), with the more rational guyot and spurred cordon, lowering the production yield up to 5.0 t / ha, but enhancing the quality of the wines produced.
Fermentation is obtained from maceration at a controlled temperature for about 15 days. Aging in barrique. Characteristics of this wine are a warm, intense and persistent taste. The ruby red color tending to garnet offers harmonious aromas with hints of vanilla and ripe fruit.
Sugar
Alcoholic beverages contain not only alcohol, but also sugar and fat. For this reason, their consumption should be kept under control in particular by those with weight problems or blood sugar control.
Must
Also called "white fermentation" is a winemaking technique that involves the immediate separation of the must from the skins, without maceration taking place. With this system it is possible to obtain white wines also from dark-skinned grapes.
Yeasts for fermentation
This process is also called primary fermentation and is a series of chemical reactions that transform enzymes into alcohol. This can happen thanks to the presence of specific yeasts, among which the most used are the saccharomycetes.

For all lovers of true Neapolitan pizza made by Marco, an authentic Neapolitan pizza maker, who, like an artist, doses all the ingredients and cooking times with wisdom and with love for tradition. A delight for the palate and the soul. Absolutely not to be missed.
Tasty Neapolitan pizza, Marco is a true professional and a welcoming and clean host, the most famous Margherita is digestible and tasty.
A pizza that really deserves it! Excellent dough and perfect combination of ingredients. Fried appetizers are delightful! Perhaps the only flaw is the slightly small and spartan restaurant, which however gives you the opportunity to observe the pizza chef at work!
Came here with 3 other friends. Had 5 pizzas and one eggplant parmigiana. There was not one piece of food left on our table. Staff was extremely friendly, fast service, and great mood inside. We felt welcomed despite not speaking any Italian, and had a great time. 5/5 highly recommend
