Sannio Wine Country
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 who through their hard work, pride and determination have brought back to life an area
from which many fled until a few decades ago - is still greatly unknown to most. This is the Sannio with it endless, meticulously groomed vineyards were the great Aglianico, Solopaca,
Greco di Tufo, Sannio and Guardiolo wines are produced.
This was the domain of the strong and proud people of Samnium who battled Rome for three centuries and in the face of adversity in 290 B.C. resisted, preferring battle till death rather than
enslavement. And today the spirit of the strong willed Samnite gladiators and formidable hunters of the past is still very tangible and evident to the senses.
