Falerno del Massico “Tacito” Rosso DOC 2020 – Nugnes
£18.20
Crafted from carefully selected Aglianico and Piedirosso grapes grown on the sun-kissed slopes of Mount Massico, Tacito is a wine that speaks softly yet powerfully. It draws its strength from volcanic soils and its soul from centuries of Campanian winemaking tradition.
This wine shows a deep ruby red colour, with violet hues that catch the light. On the nose, it opens with generous aromas of blackcurrant and wild blackberry, gently lifted by a whisper of vanilla and sweet spice.
On the palate, it’s harmonious and structured, with smooth tannins and a vibrant acidity that adds freshness to its depth. There’s a lovely balance between fruit and structure, with a finish that lingers on notes of dark berries and dried herbs.
Perfect with grilled red meats, roasted lamb, mild cheeses, or simply a moment of quiet reflection.

Falerno del Massico "Tacito" Rosso, Why we love it and why you’ll love it too!
Some wines are bold. Others are elegant. Falerno del Massico “Tacito” is both.
From the volcanic slopes of Mount Massico, it brings a quiet power and a deep, brooding beauty. The name says it all—Tacito, like the Roman historian, speaks with wisdom and calm. But it also tells stories of sun-ripened grapes, ancient soils, and a land that has known wine for millennia.
In the glass, it glows with deep ruby red hues. The first swirl reveals blackcurrant and wild blackberry, followed by a gentle trace of vanilla and soft spice. One sip and you’ll feel the structure—bold yet graceful, like a well-composed melody. The tannins are polished. The finish is long, smooth, and slightly savoury.
It’s the kind of wine that feels just right on a quiet evening.
With a roast, a book, or a cheese board, Tacito brings balance, pleasure, and a quiet kind of confidence.
