Benevento "Sannio" is an anchent land, very rich in hystory, since Samnites times has held a very important strategic role in the region's both economical and social life, also thanks to the area's mountainous configuration.
|
| Guardiasanframondi, medieval village founded by Normans, for centuries has been motherland for important trades and since longer than 100 years ago, a very active agricoltural centre, especially in the vine growing and wine producing fields. |
| Carlo De Lucia has made his own the area's agricoltural traditions to produce, with modern systems and a high research culture, typical wines of a superior quality, obtained from the selection of the best grapes, rich in flavours and tastes of this ancient land. |
| Carlo De Lucia was born in Guardiasanframondi, in a family of farmers from countless generations. It is only in the beginning of the '90s, when he bets on quality, that he builds a new cellar and starts to implant new vineyards in Guyot, meaning a lower grape production, even if richer in concentration. |
Above all, he concentrates upon the two native grape varieties with the higher potentiality: Falanghina for the white grapes and Aglianico, for a small part of the red ones. |
The wine estate stretches over about 12 hectares of specialized vineyards. The ground is mostly of medium mixture.
The vineyards benefit of a perfect micro-climate due both to the presence of the Appenines Mountains and the air courrents coming from the near sea. |
