Grape variety

Piedirosso

nomen est omen

It is believed that the Greeks brought this rare, ancient red grape variety to the southern Italian region of Campania during antiquity. The name Piedirosso means “redfoot,” and refers to the vine’s red wood. The Roman scholar Pliny the Elder (23-79 CE) even mentions the variety in his encyclopedic work on natural history. He died during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, where this historical variety now grows. The volcanic, ash-containing soil is extremely rich in minerals, and the grapes produce complex, multi-faceted wines.

Piedirosso

Aglianico

Born of ashes.

Called the "Barolo of the South", the Aglianico shares its distinctive acidity and gripping tannins with the Barolo grape, Nebbiolo. And, similar to the Piemontese, this red Southern-Italian variety possesses an impressive aging potential. The best grow in volcanic soil, in the foothills of the extinct Mount Vulture in the Basilicata region, and in Taurasi in Campania, at the foot of the active Mount Vesuvius. Here, the Aglianico has long been at home. It can thank the Spanish for its name, as they ruled this stretch of land in the 15th and 16th centuries. They called it the wine from the plane, or “llano” in Spanish. When young, the Aglianico appears dark and concentrated with aromas of chocolate and plums, as well as mineral notes. After a few years of maturity, it surprises with an elegant stature one would not expect from the young muscleman.

Italy – Where wine is a way of life

The Italian wine regions are extremely diverse, and this is made clear in their wines. Established varieties such as Merlot, Syrah, and Sauvignon can be found on just 15 percent of the total vine growing area. The remaining 85 percent is reserved for autochthonous, indigenous varieties. More than 2,000 different grape varieties are grown under diverse conditions and pressed with various techniques into wines that reach the top tier of the international wine market.
