Greco Beneventano IGT Masseria Frattasi
The Greek comes from a vineyard 100 meters as the crow flies from the Avellino DOCG, but the plants testify to one of the oldest vineyards of the variety mentioned by Pliny. The label is a Bourbon riggiola, from the eighteenth century, like all the labels of the winery.
Paper color with greenish reflections, plum flavor, hawthorn infusions, sweet notes of white fruit such as currants and white mulberries.
The Greek of the prince owes its name to Prince D'Avalos of Montesarchio, hero of the battle of Pavia, who gave the Spanish dominion of Italy at the end of the 16th century. King Charles V gave him a fiefdom that started from Naples and reached Pescara. He loved to dine with the Greek produced in Montesarchio, where he had the largest winery of his huge domains.
