Winemaker Notes
The vines with an average age of 15 years grown in espalier are placed on soil of volcanic origin with sandy and calcareous sediments with a good presence of organic substance.
Vineyard extension of approximately 2 hectares with a density of 4,500 plants per ha.
After manual harvesting and soft pressing, spontaneous fermentation follows, triggered by indigenous yeasts and maceration on the skins with 10% of whole grapes in 25 hl concrete vats. Total sulfur equal to 34 mg/l.
The Story
"Mille" is a splendid interpretation of this blend of native red grape varieties, which stands out for its spontaneity and enthusiasm. A true gem produced by Marco and Diana, husband and wife, and custodians of a few hectares in the Sannio Beneventano area. They were capable of gaining a place in the hearts of wine lovers thanks to their territorial but very focused and defined wines. In Teano they grow typical traditional vines such as Aglianico, Fiano, Pallagrello Nero, Piedirosso and Falanghina, grown without the aid of any chemical or synthetic substance, in order to preserve life in the soil and of the plants. In the cellar, concrete tanks are preferred, with a view to not overriding the expressiveness of their wines, and favoring freshness and saline texture. Great local wines, light years away from the silly trends of the moment.
"Mille" is a fleshy and pulpy red wine, the result of a blend that speaks of Campania. Capable of combining the lively, fresh and creative character of the Piedirosso, with the education and alcohol of the Aglianico and the sharp edges and rustic features of the black Pallagrello. Imagine drinking it on a Spring afternoon, sitting with three or four friends at the table in the garden, this wine is a thirst-quencher and carefree.
