Words from Gaetano & Gabriele
We are located in the heart of the small village of Foglianise, in the picturesque setting of the Taburno Camposauro Regional Park, Robb de Matt Winery was born from a project to recover, protect, and enhance the local winemaking heritage. From the beginning, we chose to care for the marginal vineyards, often abandoned or neglected, located in the municipalities of Torrecuso, Foglianise, Vitulano, and Cautano. Here, ancient ecotypes of native grape varieties tell a story of farming rooted for generations, built on rural knowledge, biodiversity, and a deep connection to the land.

The Territory
Our production takes place in the Vitulanese Valley, also known as the Taburno Valley, an enchanting place where the hills gently nestle at the foot of the Taburno mountain massif, opening towards the south/southeast. This location guarantees optimal microclimatic conditions, with vineyards located between 250 and 600 meters above sea level, benefiting from significant temperature variations between day and night, a crucial factor for aromatic balance and grape ripening.

The valley is also distinguished by the richness of its soils, which vary significantly within a few kilometers: from compact limestone to alluvial soils, from volcanic deposits to mineral-rich red and yellow clays. This geological stratification allows us to produce wines with diverse structure and complexity, authentic expressions of the micro-zones in which we grow.

Agricultural Management and Production Philosophy
We farm organically, fully respecting the soil, the plant's life cycle, and the surrounding ecosystem. We practice controlled, spontaneous grassing, encouraging the growth of flowers, aromatic herbs, and native vegetation, creating an ideal environment for pollinating insects and preserving the vineyard's biodiversity. We intervene as little as possible in the vineyard and cellar: our wines are neither filtered nor clarified, and every bottle is the result of clean and sustainable agriculture.

Big Bang
Falanghina, Trebbiano, Moscato 2023 (sp/o)
An energetic and thirst quenching sparkling wine, skin fermented for 11 days and bottled unfiltered. Long on the palate with notes of apple, butter and walnut.

Ossigeno
Grape: Falanghina and Trebbiano 2023 (o)
Skin fermented, lees-aged, this textured orange is layered with citrus peel and herbs

"Vinified to eradicate a seemingly incurable sadness, or when you're feeling down and need a real, healthy breath of fresh air!”

Falanghina and Trebbiano grapes macerated for 7 days in open vats. The long maturation in stainless steel on its fine lees increases its complexity and volume on the palate. There’s a bold acidity, a touch of fruit and citrus, and a little saltiness and a strong density.

Tino 5
Grape: Coda di Pecora, Trebbiano 2023 (o)
A seven day maceration in open vats, easy drinking and nutty, almost fino-like, with white flowers and medicinal herbs.

Mu
Grape: Aglianico 2023 (p)
The wildest colour! A pure and elegant direct press Aglianico from 70 year old vines, grafted onto wild scions by local farmers, grow in a mixed soil of red clay and loamy clay, which gives the wine freshness, minerality, and structure. Fruit trees, wild flowers, and aromatic herbs coexist in the vineyard, creating a vibrant and rich environment

A brilliant rosé that captivates the eye and it's just as "Glou Glou" as it sounds.

R&B
Grapes: Field blend (2023) (p)
A mixture of all of Gaetano and Gabriele’s ten grape varieties create this intriguing wine, perhaps closer to a pale red than a rosé. Each sip offers new sensations, like jazz music, different sounds alternate and overlap.

Big Sur
Grape: Merlot 2023 (r)
One doesn’t think of Merlot when here in the south of Italy, but there is little parcels of it, a few rows here, a leftover from Napoleonic times when the French ruled the south.

A new wine from Robb de Matt, its name inspired by two mountains: Monte Caruso, overlooking Foglianise, and Big Sur in California, where the two Robb de Matt brothers arrived years ago, following in the footsteps of Jack Kerouac. A Merlot vineyard at 600 meters above sea level, among the highest in the Taburno area, vinified in concrete tanks.

Hitchcock
Grapes: Merlot, Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Vinciguerra, Barbera 2023 (r)
13 days maceration, 9 months in steel.

A complex red wine, made from at least seven indigenous local varieties, mostly Aglianico blending grapes. It is the fruit of an educational project launched over 40 years ago thanks to the passionate work of Dr. Alfonso Pedicini, agronomist and longtime representative of the local WWF. Pedicini saved ancient biotypes from extinction by recovering them from wild scions, preserving them in the vineyard, now considered an "open-air gene bank" for local viticulture. The result is a wine with a strong personality, rooted in the past yet alive in the present.
