Cellar: Cacciagalli

Cacciagalli is a young reality of the Alto Casertano born of the will of the spouses Diana Iannaccone, an agronomist, and Marco Basco, a profound knowledgeable wine world, to produce wines that are the mirror of the territory. The farm is at the foot of the Roccamonfina volcano, immersed in a landscape dominated by hazelnuts, chestnuts and olive trees. The vineyards stretch over a 9 hectare area divided into several parcels located in the localities of Cacciagalli and Aorivola. The fields are of volcanic origin, and Daina and Marco cultivate only the native vines of the area: Aglianico, Piediorosso, Black Pallagrello, Falanghina and Fiano. Spouses have a deep respect for nature and cultivate their biodynamic vineyards, avoiding any chemical substance and minimizing the use of copper and zinc. In the cellar the fermentations are spontaneous and the refinements occur almost all in terracotta amphora with macerations on the skins more or less long, no clarification or filtration. The resulting wines are fresh, mineral and of great personality.
