THE SANNIO, A LAND OF PASSION AND BEAUTY

As you drive south along the Apennine Mountains, zig-zagging your way across the Abruzzo and Molise National Park, you will fully enjoy the pleasures of driving on spectacular traffic-free mountain and country roads where the scenery changes at every turn.
Surprisingly, this area - a land of great beauty and abundance, full of charming and passionate people whose hard work, pride and determination have brought this area back to life - is still greatly unknown to most outside Italy. This is the Sannio, with its vast, meticulously groomed vineyards where the great Aglianico, Solopaca, Greco di Tufo, Sannio and Guardiolo wines are produced.
This region was the domain of the strong and proud people of Samnium, who battled Rome for three centuries, preferring battle till death rather than enslavement. Today, the spirit of the strong-willed Samnite gladiators and hunters of the past is still tangible and evident to the senses.
