Casavecchia

The dark blue Casavecchia-grape has received an increasing attention after it recently was saved from a possible extinction. The grapes gives wine of very good quality. Powerful, spicy and structured. It says to be of old campanian origins.

Also interesting the group of the autochthonous red berried grapes, beginning with Aglianico - the king of this region - to which are joined Piedirosso (here called Per'e Palummo, Pigeon foot), Sciascinoso, Pallagrello Nero and Casavecchia.
