Agnanum 2023 Campania Falanghina Campi Flegrei

The Campi Flegrei DOC is West of Naples on the coast marked by volcanic soils. This is a historic winemaking region spanning back to the Roman times. Steep and impossible to mechanize rows of vines have mostly been abandoned: Agnanum winemaker Raffaelle Moccia is a rare exception.

"The vines are as gnarly as they come, and range from 60 to 200 years old. Because of the unique, layered composition of the soils (volcanic ash and sand, sandy basalt and basalt subsoil), the entirety of the estate is planted in franc de pied (ungrafted vines immune to Phylloxera)." -Louis Dressner Selections
