Winery Profile
- Nanni Cope’ is the fruit of the inner passion of Giovanni Ascione for wine, as well as of his encounter with a unique vineyard at Castel Campagnano, in the upper region of Caserta, Campania.
- It is a beautiful, unpolluted area, with vineyards alternating with woods, highly draining sandy soils, 25% slopes, and daily draughts, throughout the year. The Taburno and the Matese massifs are nearby; the sea is about thirty kilometres away, and the middle course of the Volturno river flows in the neighborhood.
- The plants are aged more than thirty years on average. The main grapes are Pallagrello Nero, Aglianico, and Casavecchia.
- Vigna Sopra il Bosco is a true obsession. The plants are registered one by one and the whole vineyard is divided into sectors subject to different pruning, surface management, and harvesting approaches.
