Alfonso Arpino was the local pediatrician in Tramonti, high in the Lattari Mountains above the Amalfi Coast, when he decided the ancient vines around him deserved better than to quietly disappear. Melogna — dialect for the badgers that den among the rows — is his everyday red, grown on volcanic soil between 400 and 600 meters, where warm days flip to cold nights. It's Piedirosso and Tintore plus a splash of nearly extinct locals like Olivella and Sciascinoso, fermented with native yeasts in steel and otherwise left alone. The result is light on its feet and savory-salty rather than heavy, the kind of red that rewards a slight chill. Organic, honest, and unlike almost anything else coming out of Campania.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Bowler Wine

<p>"Melogna", dialect for badger, is a new wine for Monte di Grazia. It’s a field blend that harkens back to old-school farmer wines. 60% Piedirosso, 30% Tintore di Tramonti, 4% Moscio, 3% Olivella, and 3% Sciascinoso from a 0.3ha pergola at 600m, planted 30 years ago. Harvest was at yields of 30hl/ha. Spontanoeus fermentation in stainless steel with 6 days of skin contact. Aged 6 months in stainless and 3 months in bottle before release. 1,200 bottles made.</p>

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Pizza margherita, grilled sardines, eggplant parmigiana, or a plate of salumi.

Tasting Profile

Light- to medium-bodied red with tart red cherry, cranberry, wild herbs and a distinctly salty volcanic edge. Fresh acidity, gentle tannins, savory finish.
