Tasting Notes Casavecchia 2001, Caputo


The dark blue Casavecchia-grape has received an increasing attention after it recently was saved from a possible extinction. The grapes gives wine of very good quality. Powerful, spicy and structured. It says to be of old campanian origins. It should also be related to the grape named as Trebulano as noted by Pliny.
There has also been rumors of relations with aglianico, which now seems to be rejected.
