Masseria Frattasi Caudium Aglianico

Beautiful bright red wine with a pronounced aroma of fresh red fruit such as cherries and red berries.

Pasquale Clemente from Naples

Pasquale Clemente crafts fascinating wines in the Naples hinterland. The wine region around the city of Benevento benefits from cool, high-altitude vineyards with volcanic soil. The wines of Masseria Frattasi are unique! This is thanks to the combination of terroir and the remarkable, organically grown grapes such as Greco Fiano Coda di Volpe and Aglianico.

The Aglianico grape is common in southern Italy and produces various styles of red wine depending on ripeness and vinification. Pasquale Clemente chooses Caudium for an accessible style and harvests the grapes only in the first ten days of November! Only after this long period do the grape skins reach full ripeness, releasing tannins and rich flavors.

After the usual first and second fermentations, the Caudium matures for approximately nine months in French oak barrels. Its strength and freshness make this wine a delicious accompaniment to grilled meat dishes, among other things.
