Important red wine whose vines are grown on volcanic soil in the hills of Taurasi. The name of our wine comes from the place where horses were once said to graze in the wild, and where the remains of the ancient hermitage of St. Quirico can still be found. A wine so precious that it was dressed in a work of art by contemporary painter Moreno Bondi.
