Intense ruby red with a persistent violet-tinged foam. The nose is fresh and direct, with red cherry, wild strawberry, violet, and a mineral volcanic thread. On the palate, lively and bright, with gentle tannins, vibrant acidity, red fruit, soft effervescence, and a clean, earthy finish.
  • Style: Dry, light-bodied, naturally sparkling red; the two-week skin maceration gives the wine real depth for a frizzante — more structure and fruit complexity than a simple press-and-ferment approach; the bottle re-fermentation produces a lively, persistent effervescence
  • Grapes & terroir: Piedirosso, Aglianico, and Sciascinoso; organically farmed on sandy, volcanic, lapillose soils on the Sorrento Peninsula near Mount Vesuvius; hand-harvested; no synthetic inputs; each variety contributes differently — Piedirosso brings red fruit and freshness, Aglianico adds structure and dark fruit, Sciascinoso softness and aromatic lift
  • Winemaking: Hand-harvested; two weeks skin maceration; fermentation in cement tanks with spontaneous indigenous yeasts; bottle re-fermentation for natural effervescence; unfined, unfiltered; minimal sulfite additions only
  • Serving temperature & decanting: Serve well chilled at 46–50°F; no decanting
  • Pairing: Pizza margherita napoletana (Neapolitan Margherita pizza)
  • Similar to: Lambrusco di Sorbara, Gragnano from Martusciello, lightly sparkling Schiava from Alto Adige

Product description

Poggio delle Baccanti Gragnano Rosso Frizzante 2023 is a naturally sparkling dry red wine made from an indigenous blend of Piedirosso, Aglianico, and Sciascinoso grown on organically farmed volcanic soils near Mount Vesuvius at Sant'Antonio Abate on the Sorrento Peninsula. Poggio delle Baccanti uses two weeks of skin maceration followed by fermentation in cement tanks with indigenous yeasts before bottle re-fermentation produces the wine's natural effervescence. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfite additions. Gragnano Rosso Frizzante is the traditional sparkling red of the Neapolitan table. 12% ABV. Penisola Sorrentina DOC, Campania.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Producer profile

Poggio delle Baccanti

Poggio delle Baccanti has been making Gragnano since the winery was founded in the 1950s, and it remains one of the wines most central to the La Mura family's identity and history. The estate is located at Sant'Antonio Abate on the Sorrento Peninsula, within the Penisola Sorrentina DOC zone and close enough to the Gragnano subzone to produce wines from the same volcanic soils and the same indigenous grape varieties that have defined this regional wine tradition for centuries.

The winery was established by the first Raffaele La Mura, himself the son of a winemaker, who devoted himself specifically to the production of Gragnano and the Vesuvian Lacryma Christi wines of the area. Three generations later, the estate is run by brothers Raffaele and Paolo La Mura and their cousins Giovanni and Raffaele, with the same unwavering commitment to indigenous Campanian varieties and organic farming. Their philosophy is expressed in what they call a "pact with the earth": no synthetic chemicals in the vineyard, hand-harvesting on the volcanic slopes where mechanization is impossible, and minimal intervention at every stage of production.

The Gragnano Rosso Frizzante is made the way it has always been made in this part of the Sorrento Peninsula — skin maceration, spontaneous fermentation, and bottle re-fermentation — but in a context of strict organic agriculture and the lowest possible sulfite use. The wine is unfined, unfiltered, and carries the natural cloudiness and yeast sediment of a genuinely traditional frizzante. It is designed exactly for what Neapolitans have always paired it with: pizza, charcuterie, mozzarella di bufala, and the simple, direct food of the local table.

Wine region

Campania, Italy

Gragnano is a small town in the Lattari Mountains on the Sorrento Peninsula, in the Province of Naples. It sits in the Molini Valley at the foot of the mountains, sheltered on one side by the Lattari ridge and facing north toward the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius on the other. The town has two claims to international fame: its centuries-old pasta production — the winding streets of Gragnano were historically designed to channel drying winds for the pasta — and its naturally sparkling red wine, which has been synonymous with the Neapolitan table since at least Roman times.

Pliny, Galen, and Columella all wrote about wine from this area of the Sorrento Peninsula. In 1808, Joachim Murat, then King of Naples, brought French agronomists to the Lattari Mountains to refine the local winemaking methods, and from that period Gragnano became widely known as the wine of Naples. Today the Penisola Sorrentina DOC, established in 1991, recognizes Gragnano as one of three subzones — alongside Lettere and Sorrento — entitled to name its wines on the label. This distinction applies currently only to the Rosso Frizzante style.

The vineyards of Gragnano and neighboring Pimonte occupy slopes at roughly 980 to 1,640 feet above sea level on sandy, lapillose volcanic soils — the loose, porous deposits of ancient volcanic activity that drain freely and warm quickly, giving the wines their characteristic mineral and earthy depth. Piedirosso (locally called Pèr e Palummo), Aglianico, and Sciascinoso are the defining varieties. The wine is served cold, consumed young, and paired classically with Neapolitan pizza — the slightly fizzy, slightly tannic, fruit-forward red is considered the natural partner to the mozzarella, tomato, and basil of a real Margherita or Marinara.
