Bright ruby red with garnet highlights. Dried fruits, spices, menthol notes, pepper, wood. Balanced, warm, tannic.

The name "Recepit" is intended to have the double meaning of "rediscovery" of the historical and cultural heritage of the area and "hospitality" because wine in the local tradition has always been a symbol of hospitality. It is produced from Guarnaccino grapes, grown 800 meters above sea level in the Pollino National Park. Until the late 1800s these grapes were aged in the 600 or so caves dug into the rock, before the arrival of phylloxera and the subsequent abandonment of the vineyards.

Coral pink. Flowers, strawberry candy, red fruits. Fragrant, fruity, savory.

The name "600 caves" evokes the ancient caves in which wines were aged in the 1800s, and "Recepit," which means rediscovery, was chosen by the winery for the rediscovery of Guarnaccino, a rare grape variety that almost disappeared during the 1900s due to phylloxera and land abandonment. The area where this vine grows is very limited, located near the town of Chiaromonte at 800 meters above sea level on the Sinni River valley in the heart of the Pollino National Park.
