'Red feet' - or Piedirosso is a new grape variety for us. From the wonderful I Cacciagalli Estate in Campania we are delighted by this pure expression of the place and the winemaking here at this biodynamic estate. This has a fascinating feel of lightness but then some texture and grip frame the soft spicy, strawberry core of supple fruit. Delicious and pure. hand-picked, macerated on the skins for 20 days and then aged in clay amphorae for 5 months - ancient methods producing sublime results. It's very minimal-intervention winemaking means it is unfiltered and benefits hugely from being decanted to open up the purity of the aromas. L&S (Jun 2013)

Made from Piedirosso. Ooh very interesting - sort of talcum powder nose. Vibrant red fruit, rubbery tannins - a lovely, wonderful, weird curiosity. Italian Beaujolais? Super fragrant finish. 2014-2020 Rating: 16 Richard Hemming MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Apr 2014)

I Cacciagalli

We were introduced to this young estate in the northern region of Caserta, Campania by our dear, old friend (and wonderful winemaker) Piero Lanza from Poggerino in Chianti. Located at the foot of the spectacular, but thankfully inactive volcano of Roccamonfina, Diana and Mario are making a range of very exciting wines in a beautifully expressive way. The combination of their adherence to strict Bio-dynamic farming principles, the wonderful volcanic soils and the use of amphora to ferment and age most of their wines result in distinctive, pure wines that really sing. From just 6 acres of vines these passionate winemakers are producing something both intriguing and beguiling and above all delicious!
