Terra Verus Importers of Fine Wines and Liquors: Benincasa

The Benincasa farm stretches over about 45 hectares of lands between the municipalities of Bevagna and Gualdo Cattaneo. The prevailing crops are wine and olives trees. All of the land used for the vineyard is situated on the gentle and sunny hills that slope down from Gualdo Cattaneo towards Bevagna, in the middle of the Montefalco production area. Domenico Benincasa must take the merit for creating the first mono-vine vineyard of Sagrantino grapes at the beginning of the 70's. He started from only a few examples remaining from old mixed crops in the area. As evidence of this, the name of Benincasa is the first on the register of Sagrantino producers.
