ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Masseria Frattasi is a hidden pearl located in Montesarchio in Northern Campania, an inland area west of the town of Benevento. The vineyards are implanted on volcanic soil adorning the slopes of the Mount Taburno. It is in this magical place in the southern Apennines between 400 and 900 metres above sea level, where old native grape
varieties are turned into some of the finest wines from Southern Italy. Some of the vines are nearly 200 years old and they are still managed using an ancient training system method, the "tennecchia", a sort "raggiera" (spokes of a wheel) with very few plants per acre.
