The result of unknown vines cultivated by hundreds of small farmers in tiny plots, Gragnano is a wine that is born above 500
meters of altitude from plots plunging into the sea of the Sorrento Peninsula. Mentioned by Soldati and Totò, it is a young wine (but not new), a red wine to drink sparkling and cold. Maybe with pizza or panuozzo. A strictly erroir wine, considered "minor" but very pleasant and drinkable.
Giacinto Gigante, Neapolitan painter and engraver, wrote in the mid-nineteenth century "the wine of Gragnano, par excellence gave
its name to all the wines of the Neapolitan area, so that it was enough to say Gragnano to mean a fragrant, clear, sweet (...) and grape variety, not artificial ".
Mario Soldati spoke of “vinous and country scent; sparkling, and when young even frothy with a froth that dropped immediately and
immediately disappeared forever; mellow, dense but at the same time slippery: like a Lambrusco with more body, like a Barbera with
less body ". And again: “despite the color, it should not be drunk at room temperature, but cold, and cold from the cellar, of course, never from the refrigerator”.
