2023 Cantine Matrone - Omotom

$59.00

Producer | Cantine Matrone

Region | Campania

Variety | Caprettone, Falanghina, Greco, Piedirosso, Aglianico

Alcohol | 12%

Produced from the blend of all the company's white and red grapes. In 2023, downy mildew and adverse weather devastated the production, so only few bottles of this wine as well as 'A Muntagna Bianco were produced. This wine macerated for a total of 3 days and all the grapes were co-fermented. Fermentation and aging in stainless steel for 1 year. "'O Motom" was a motorbike widely used by local farmers in the 1980s: a fast and alternative means of transport, like the wine from this particular year.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Cantine Matrone is located in Boscotrecase, in the heart of the Vesuvius National Park, facing the Gulf of Naples. It is led by Andrea Matrone, who after gaining experience making wine in Australia, New Zealand, California, Sicily and Cilento, returned to his origins on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, to produce wines with great respect for territoriality and nature.

The bulk of production is focused on two wines: Lacryma Christi Rosso and Lacryma Christi Bianco. It is a type of wine common to the area and produced since Roman times. Andrea produces wines which are aromatic, precise and complex, while retaining the unique terroir-driven character and flavours typical of this wine.
