CASETTA ROSSA di BIANCHINO CONCETTA

In Falciano del Massico, Concetta Bianchino runs Casetta Rossa on the volcanic slopes of the Massico, at the northernmost tip of Campania's viticulture. The cornerstone of production is `Falerno del Massico`, where `Aglianico` and `Piedirosso` ripen under Mediterranean light and undergo the twelve months of aging required by the production specifications. Around this core revolve four other denominations: `Galluccio`, appreciated for its mineral vein, the crisp `Asprinio di Aversa`, and the two `IGT` regimes of `Terre del Volturno` and `Roccamonfina`, which broaden the range towards more versatile white wines. Five denominations within a restricted radius paint a picture of a compact territory, where the volcanic component of the soil acts as a common thread from one wine to another. The estate's approach prioritizes adherence to origin over formula: the wines are born from the place, not from a stylistic doctrine imposed from above. Visitors to the estate can explore this geography in a single stop, tasting structured reds and taut whites side-by-side, and discerning in the glass the differences between the zones of the Massico.
