Description
A still red from Campania IGT, produced by Agnanum. Blend of Piedirosso and Barbera. 0.75 l bottle. A wine that expresses the strength of the volcanic territory of the Campi Flegrei, with a bold character and an intense soul. Located on the volcanic hills of the Astroni nature reserve, in the historic Campi Flegrei area, the Moccia winery has been passionately dedicated to viticulture for over forty years. A meticulous recovery plan, initiated in 1960 by founder Gennaro Moccia, is continued with equal enthusiasm by his son Raffaele. On the nose, fruity aromas of berries and floral notes. Ruby red with purple highlights. On the palate, the wine is fresh, pleasant, and savory. A wine that tells the story of an ancient and fascinating land.

An accurate recovery plan, started in 1960 by the founder Gennaro Moccia and continued with equal enthusiasm by his son Raffaele who, in order to follow the company closely, gave up his free profession as an agro-technician, has made it possible to fully exploit the wine resources of this area.
The Moccia vineyards stand on the hills of the Astroni di Agnano nature reserve, where the particular slope of the hill, with its terraced layout, allows only manual management of the same, based on continuous shaping of the terrain, thus guaranteeing the right water supply through the creation of small basins created near each individual vine.
The careful selection of the grapes, the very low yields per hectare (approximately 30-40 Ql), the late harvest, and the marketing postponed for about a year after the harvest, guarantee the high quality of the final product, while any residues at the bottom of the bottles testify to its genuineness.
From the vineyard to the wine, the tradition and care of the Moccia family allow the products to be enhanced with a flavour and aroma that is always appreciated and appreciated even by the most demanding consumers.
Produced in a limited edition, Agnanum is the natural second result of winemaking using traditional methods. Read more
