The civilization of the wine was born here:
in this vast, hilly area of Campania that from Sessa Aurunca and the slopes of the extinct volcano
of Roccamonfina goes up to mount Massico, bordering Lazio.

From here, from the Ager Falernus of Latins,
two thousand years ago, used to leave the barrels that, besides the capital city,
supplied the main cities of the Roman world.
Here, along the itinerary that places
side by side the Garigliano in its run,
from Caserta and  the Volturno's plain, a stonesthrow from the famous abbey of Montecassino,
rises, set to a cliff, the ancient
and suggestive village of Rocca d'Evandro.
The wine tradition, together with the oil one,
weaves in these places with the history of these towns, where it has been handed down,
magically intact, the charm of their past, also made of smells and tastes.
A tradition that at the Prattico Farm
has wisely been preserved, by putting  highly
advanced systems of production and
preservation to the service of an ancient culture.
