The name Vigna Macchia dei Goti derives from the district in the town of Taurasi where the vineyards are located, which stand on clay and limestone soils about 350 meters above sea level facing southwest. Aglianico is the only grape used for the production of this wine; yields are deliberately very low to increase the quality of the product.

The Coda di Volpe vine is named for the shape of the bunch, medium to large pyramidal, cylindrical ends with a curvature reminiscent of the animal's tail, the resemblance was already described by Pliny the Elder who named this grape Cauda Vulpium. It is a grape that grows quite easily and adapts to different types of climates and soils, but it is not particularly vigorous or productive. It is grown mainly in the provinces of Benevento, Avellino, Naples and Caserta, but sporadic plants are found in Puglia and Sicily, on the slopes of Mount Etna.

"Quindicianni" Taurasi Riserva Docg from the Perillo winery, is a red wine made from pure Aglianico grapes, harvested from vines over 100 years old grown at 600 meters above sea level. The wine's name comes from its very long processing time: in fact, the grapes are fermented in steel for about a month, followed by aging in barrels for 14 years. The result is a rich, alcoholic red wine with strong and persistent notes.

Aglianico is considered one of the oldest grapes in Italy, according to some it was already present at the time of the Roman Empire and was imported in the eighth century BC from Greece. One thesis about the origin of the name is that it comes from the Greek word "ellanic." There are no certain sources on the origins of the name, and according to other experts, Aglianico derives from the Spanish "llano" meaning plain, consequently "grape of the plains," the thesis is supported by the fact that the earliest records of Aglianico date back to the 16th century, shortly after the Spanish invasion of southern Italy. The shape of the cluster is pyramidal of small to medium size, compact with small round berries of a very intense blue-black color. The thick skin allows it to resist botrytis by allowing late harvesting since it is a slow-ripening grape that grows at altitudes of 600-700 meters.

The Pepella grape variety takes its name from the berries that are sometimes as small as peppercorns caused by flowering problems. It is a relatively recent grape, documented only in the 19th century, and according to genetic studies is a variety distinct from all others found in Campania. The cluster is medium-sized, pyramid-shaped and sparse. It has low fertility with limited production, susceptible to Botrytis but partially protected by the thick skin and scarcity of berries.

Rovello Bianco was first described in 1875 as Roviello. It is a variety that was abandoned by winemakers for practicality, since it ripens earlier than local grapes such as Fiano and Greco. It was recently rediscovered by the winery owner and some university researchers who found old free-range vines growing in the Taurasi area.

It is a very vigorous variety, believed by some to have originated in France, but recent studies show it to be a native vine, currently growing mainly in the northern Naples area.

This type of training is called " alberata," is of Etruscan origin, the vines grow up to twenty meters and are pruned according to very precise rules to maintain this plant architecture.
