Asprinio

Widespread especially in Campania, precisely in the Caserta and Neapolitan areas, Asprinio is deeply linked to the municipality of Aversa. Grape variety probably derived from the ancient wild vines domesticated by the Etruscans, from which its traditional aversana tree-growing system also descends. Its affinity with sandy soils has protected it in part from phylloxera, therefore it is possible to find crops of this variety bred free-range. From it we obtain wines with a characteristic greenish color, characterized by an evident hint of lemon and a disruptive acidity, almost harsh, for this "asprinio", which makes it an extremely suitable grape for sparkling wine in the Aversa Asprinio DOC.
