"Kapnios" Aglianico Beneventano Igt 2018 75 cl Masseria Frattasi

MF KAP

The Kapnios, wine quoted by Plato (The University) and Pliny (Naturalis Historia) is the first Amarone, meaning wine withered and dry, history. The name comes from Greek capnios smoked. The vine from which the Sunni obtained these wines was also caburnica, the modern cabernet, already present in Campania three millennia ago. The drying of the grapes in the sun produces the smoky taste, hence the name greek.

Winemaking: Withering in a fruit garden. Aging in new French oak barrels for 18 months and long aging in bottle.
