Rivera Il Falcone 2018 is an iconic and highly regarded Southern Italian red wine from the prestigious Castel del Monte DOCG. Considered a benchmark of Puglia’s fine winemaking tradition, this wine showcases the depth and elegance of Nero di Troia, enhanced by complementary indigenous varieties for balance and finesse.

The 2018 vintage reflects a classic Riserva expression—structured, complex, and built for ageing. Extended maturation in oak followed by bottle ageing results in a wine that combines power with refinement, delivering both intensity and sophistication in equal measure.

It is a true representation of Puglia’s premium terroir, offering depth, aromatic complexity, and long-term cellaring potential.
