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.
Eremo Gold is a selection of Eremo's finest Barrique. At the last bottling, before the Christmas season, each Eremo barrique is personally tasted by the winemaker Ercolino, who personally selects the best aromas and refinements.
