L’Arco Antico (translated “The Ancient Arch”) farm was founded in 1865 when a local family took over the land that once belonged to the nearby monastery (current owner Alessandro Melone still complains that every time they start digging for whatever reason they find historical remains…) with the first vineyard planted in 1890.
Falanghina “La Grotta”, L'Arco Antico is a typical ‘shepherd wine’: a bit rustic, but showing the character of the wines of almost gone times, when substance counted more than refinement. Unfiltered, it matches white meat, seafood and cheese.
