Fontanavecchia is in Torrecuso, in Campania, at the foot of Mount Taburno. The massif is said to look like a sleeping woman, and people in the area call it the Dormiente del Sannio. The Rillo family runs the estate, and they've favoured quality over quantity in both vineyard and cellar.
Falanghina del Sannio and Aglianico del Taburno are the signature grapes. Greco, Fiano, Coda di volpe and Piedirosso sit alongside them. The wines are aged in French oak casks, and the reserve wines spend decades in the inner cellar halls.

I haven't reviewed a wine from Fontanavecchia yet. They're on my Top 100 list, which is built from awards.
