The DeLucia Estate
Benevento Sannio is an ancient land, very rich in history. Since Samnites times, this area has held an important strategic role in the region's economic and social life, thanks in part to the area's mountainous configuration.
The winery is located in a village called Guardia Sanframodi, in the province of Benevento (40 miles Northeast of Naples). The town lies at 428 meters above sea level and overlooks the Valley of the Calore River
The DeLucia Vineyard
Winemaker Carlo De Lucia has taken on the area's agricultural traditions of using modern systems to produce wines of a superior quality, obtained from the selection of the best grapes, rich in flavors and tastes of this ancient land. In the early 90’s, he built a new cellar and began planting new vineyards in Guyot – this meant a lower grape production, but higher quality wines.
Above all, he concentrates on the two native grape varieties with the best potential: Falanghina for the white grapes, and Aglianico for a small part of the red ones. The wine estate stretches over about 12 hectares of specialized vineyards, which benefit from the perfect micro-climate occurring from the Apennines Mountains and the air currents coming from the near sea.

Review:
With small percentages of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, this exquisitely aromatic and textural Cabernet begins with a perfume of crushed violets and black cherry. Concentrated flavors of blackberry liqueur, vanilla, and sandalwood flow across chewy, velvet- lined tannins.
