The Mustilli family settled in the town of Sant’Agata dei Goti at the start of the 14th century, and have been producing wine for five centuries. The Mustilli winery is the only winery in this sub-region of the Sannio DOC. All 20 of their hectares are planted with the indigenous grape varieties Aglianico, Piedirosso, Falanghina and Greco di Tufo. Mustilli was the first winery to bottle a single varital Falanghina in 1979, single handedly saving the grape from the brink of extinction. Today, the estate is run by two of the daughters: Anna Chiara, who manages the vineyards and winemaking, and Paola, who manages the commercial side of the business.
Mustilli farms all of their vineyards organically. The soils across their nearly 20 hectares are a mix of calcaerous, volcanic and clay. The vineyards sit at a southwestern exposure at around 1,000 feet of elevation. The Aglianico plot was planted in 1984.
The Falanghina grapes are hand harvested in mid-October. The fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks over 2-3 weeks. Aging is done in half stainless steel and half French oak barrels for 9 months. A light fining is done before bottling, and the wine is bottled unfiltered. The wine is aged in the bottle for another 6 months before release.
