Vitis Aurunca

Vineyard from the South-Italian region Campania. The company Vitis Aurunca was born from the passion of a group of agronomist and farmers to rediscover the peculiarities that, since ancient times, made the territory of Campania famous, particularly between the limestone massif of Mount Massico, the Roccamonfina volcano and the plain of river Garigliano. The proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea, which influence the local microclimate, and the volcanic soil contribute to the special peculiarities of wine. The harvest begins as the grapes are completely ripe and the wine-making is made on site, in respect of the country of origin. The outcome is the Falerno del Massico, the most famous wine and the most esteemed since antiquity. Said by many to be the first D.O.C. of the worldwide enology. This wine was widely famous in all the countries that made up the roman empire Today the area of Falerno of Massico includes the municipalities of Carinola, Falciano del Massico and Sessa Aurunca, located at the north-western province of Caserta, Cellole and Mondragone, located on the Domitius shoreline. These locations insist in a land where the simultaneous presence of Mount Massico, the sloped of Roccamonfina Volcano and the fertile plain of Garigliano river are appreciated. The proximity of the Tyrrhenian sea, which influences positively this area’s microclimate, and the volcanic soil give the wine Falerno of Massico unique peculiarities.
