Soft on the palate, medium-bodied with expressive aromas of ripe peaches, citrus fruit, and hazel nuts which mix and mingle to create a whole which is greater than its parts; a vibrant touch of acidity complete sand balances the flavors. Served with fried and peppery blue fish or with goat cheese matched with fig jam it is ideal for those seeking brilliant, intense, and delicate flavors
The name “Terre del Volturno” translates literally as “lands of the Volturno” and refers to the Volturno River, which flows southwest through the Caserta province from the Central Apennine Mountains to the Tyrrhenian Sea. It designates the southern half of the Caserta province, in northern Campania. It is of particular note as the home of the rare, native varieties of Pallagrello Bianco and Nero and Casavecchia. While the origin of the name “Pallagrello” has several supposed origins, the name for Casavecchia (literally, “old house”) derives from the fact that the local farmers who re-discovered the native vine referred to it as the vine found “up there in the old house.”
