"Set in the lesser-known Caserta slopes near an extinct volcano, this estate began with an 18th-century farmhouse and now encompasses roughly 30 acres of biodynamically farmed vineyards alongside olive and hazelnut groves and uncultivated forest. The wine resort offers eight rooms, a small lake for swimming (purified through a coconut microfiber system) and the Humus restaurant, which follows a 'picked and eaten' principle focused on local produce. Tastings and small plates highlight Slow Food and regional specialties — for example, Teano chickpea hummus with curry and goat cheese, homemade montanarine, and cream puffs with salmon trout and Pellecchiella del Vesuvio apricots and buffalo stracciata — while a dedicated L'Anfora nel Bicchiere tasting explores amphora winemaking. Wine to try: Zagreo Fiano, a Fiano grown on volcanic soils and vinified in clay amphora, yields a fresh, spicy white with an orange hue from extended skin contact." - Federico De Cesare Viola
