The area of Benevento, in addition to representing the place where we have the highest concentration of vines, is today full of a productive enthusiasm, thanks to new young people. In this context, we can find Maria Pina, Mariano and Raffaele Assini, young wine entrepreneurs with a very long family tradition.
In 2003 they decided to embark on a new project called “Castelle”.
The objective of this project is to set a high value on the typical characteristics of ancient autochthonous and traditional vines of the Sannio, through modern technologies and the respect of the tradition and the connection with the place of origin. The grapes, in particular Aglianico and Falanghina, selected according to accurate qualitative indicators, originate from the hills of Sannio and Castelvenere, an ancient village in the province of Benevento. Here the vine and its cultivation represent the signs of the cultural and social identity of the territory.
Tasting note: The color is cherry red color with bright reflections. The nose is broad feelings of fruity strawberry and cherry and floral notes of violet. The approach to the palate is aromatic, crisp and intense, which gives a fine persistence.
Food Pairing: Recommended with pasta with tomato, fish soup, fresh soft cheeses.
