Caudium Aglianico Beneventano IGP Masseria Frattasi
Caudium was the capital of Sannio, with a sanctuary that still occupies the current acropolis fortified with a castle by the Lombards. The cultivation of the vine dates back to the Cretan period, about 3500 years ago. The soils are varied, limestone and marble, sandstone and marl, clay and stone materials.
Aglianico is the oldest grape variety in the Greek world, the red par excellence, used for the best Greco-Roman wines.
Deep red. Aromas of wild blackberries, blueberries, red plum jams. Dense, pulpy, persistent.
The label is from the Giustiniani manufactory in Naples, the most important ceramic factory in Europe in 1700. Aglianico del Taburno is very particular for the soils of the mountain, a middle ground in terms of consistency between Vesuvius and the Dolomites . In fact, its rocks are dolomites.
