Gragnano occupies a dramatic place in the sprawl of Neapolitan suburbia, caught in the shadows of Mount Vesuvius and of the eastern ridges of the Sorrento Peninsula. Few communes have a more typically Italian reputation; Gragnano is internationally famous for its pasta and sparkling red wine. This is an ever-so-slightly fizzy blend, structured blend of 60% Piedirosso, Aglianico, Sciascinoso, and 40% local varieties. Aromas and flavors of dried red cherry, plums and geraniums, it's got the weight to stand up to bold flavors but with bright and balanced acidity to refresh your palate while you tuck into a table full of holiday favorites.
