Story of the wine:
Torrecuso, where La Fortezza is located, extends on the eastern slope of the hillside, where vineyards, woods, and small clearings alternate continuously, with only in the last hours of the day the profile of Monte Taburno taking away light and warmth. The province of Benevento has been producing excellent grapes for exceptional wines for centuries and accounts for about 40% of the vineyard area in the Campania Region. Our true strength lies in a combination of soil quality, exposure, altitude, and vineyard care. Aglianico is recognised as a grape variety with significant untapped potential. Originating from Greece, it thrives in volcanic soil abundant around Naples. This grape, which ripens late typically in late October to early November, gains complexity when cultivated and nurtured attentively.
