When you left Rocca d'Evandro, and you go along the road
that follows the run toward the sea of the Garigliano river, in a landscape dominated from
the green, blue and turquoise shades, a signal points out the main entrance of the Claudio
Prattico’s farm. The place is called "Acquamara," and ownes
its name to the presence, inside the ample estate, of two sources of water.
To reach the farm, once you get through the entrance gate, you'll have to cover a very
long alley that goes up, among cypresses, in an enchanted landscape where olives trees and
grapevines come out in the middle of pines, hedges of laurel bushes of rosemary. |

The little chapel. Above,
the wineyard |
In this sweet and sunny landscape,
kissed by a climate wheresea and mountain draughts melt, the farm's vineyards and olive -
groves spread out.
It's Claudio Prattico himself,
doctor in agronomy,
with a "master" in oenology,
who leads this farm where,besides very fine wines, an excellent olive oil and a very well
known brandy of wine, are produced.
The farm
extends on a surface of seventy hectares,
twenty of which are vineyards cultivations,
five are olive - groves omes
and not less then forty are covered with forest. |

The production
and the bottling of fine wines
is the main activity
of Prattico farm.
The wine cellars, discreetly
positioned in such a luxuriant
landscape, are tecnologically very advanced.
The well known mark of the farm
is printed on nearly two
thousand five hundred
bottles of extravergine olive oil
produced and bottled
every year
by Claudio Prattico,
who personally follows
all the phases of cultivation
and manufacture
of his farm's products. |
