Campania ~ Taurasi
From the aglianico vine, very ancient wine, probably originating in Greece and introduced in Italy around the 7th-6th century BC. There are no certainties about the origins of the name, which could go back to the ancient city of Elea (Eleanico), on the Tyrrhenian coast of the Lucania, or being more simply a distortion of the word Hellenic.
The name originates from the historic and ancient Taurasia (small wine village) destroyed by the Romans in 268 BC. In this town and in the Campi Taurasini (“Ager Taurasinus”) in the years 181-180 BC. .
