I want to buy Villa Matilde Bianco Falerno del Massico DOC wine online.
Falerno del Massico is an Italian wine.
I want this wine imported to South Africa where I live. Is there a
company that can do this? How can I get this wine as most of the
websites don't sell outside the US.

Dear Falerno Buy, 

First of all, please note, that unfortunately, the links given to you
by jamga might not bring you closer to your wine:

Fattoria Villa Matilda
<http://www.fattoriavillamatilde.com> 

Is indeed their website. Alas, it is under construction. You might use
the email to check with them if they have any South African vendor.

Eurowine, if I understood them, is a businesst to business company.
Their private sales are UK only.

However, I found "Italian Wine Shop", which sells the wine: 

Italian Wine Shop 
<http://www.italianwineshop.it/schedaprodotto.asp?idcat=3&idnd=180&idp=1339> 

It is going to cost you quite a fortune: the bottle itself costs about
?11, but with the postage, it is going to be an outrageous ?128. (In
order to purchase, click on the "Aggiungi al carrello" - cart icon -
on the right hand side. This will bring you to the shopping cart and
from there to the check out).

Bottenghe Campane might also have it : 
<http://www.botteghecampane.com/product_info.php?products_id=558> 

They also ship worldwide, though they don't write the price online. 

In addition, this German shop has it, but is currently off-line, so
one will have to contact them regarding shipping policy:
Punto Vino
<http://www.puntovino.de/> 

In addition, you will probably have to pay excise duty. Check here to
know how much:

I hope this answers your question. Please contact me if you need any
clarification on this answer, please let me know.
