Kapnios 2018 awarded the ‘Cinque Grappoli’ by Bibenda, the guide published by the Italian Sommelier Foundation.
The highest accolade for this all-purpose Aglianico, obtained using an age-old technique. Kapnios, in fact, is mentioned by Plato the comedian and Athenaeus, Greek writers of the classical period: it indicated a particular dried and smoked wine produced in the Sannio mountains. Just as Masseria Frattasi still does today.
