Eremo San Quirico ‐ Aglianico Campi Taurasini DOC: An important red wine grown on volcanic soil in the hills of Taurasi. Our wine's name comes from the place where wild horses were said to once graze, and where the remains of the ancient hermitage of San Quirico can still be found. A wine so precious that it's adorned with a work of art by contemporary painter Moreno Bondi.
