Íchnos is a Greek word meaning footprint. It stems from the winery's desire to promote a great vine from the Campi Flegrei area. We are talking about the so-called pér 'e palummo, or Piedirosso, in this case cultivated on a free-range basis. An indigenous black grape variety from Campania, it enjoys an enviable microclimate in this little corner of paradise, about 130 metres above sea level. Its curious name derives from the red colour that the vine-shoot takes on when it is ready to be harvested and which may remind one of a pigeon's foot. In the glass it has a beautiful bright ruby red colour. The nose recalls hints of cherry, then notes of aromatic herbs, hints of liquorice and black pepper. In the mouth, however, it reveals its Campanian origins, showing a nice body, a pleasantly soft and enveloping taste, with tannins in good evidence. A wine characterised by good balance, it easily accompanies meat dishes, even savoury ones. Try it with a country soup of legumes or vegetables.
