Trappèto di Caprafico

Just fifty meters away from its twin we find the Pecorino doc bio vineyard, the youngest cru, espalier training system.

Pecorino from organic farming Abruzzo superior doc, Vigna di Caprafico. Mantica is an ancient name, it tells the story of a parcel of land, Mantica Longa, the object of a family sale.

A hidden ambition but not that much. Said in French, written in the Italian manner, to tell the story of the ridge on which the castle of Caprafico stood, in Casoli, on the eastern side of the Maiella. From the old stock of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo ungrafted, pure, adapted to the climate and soil of that primordial landscape, a rarity is born, today a clone selected from the Caprafico countryside, at the foot of the castle, "lu sciatò".
