Casavecchia has a dark skin, and produces wines that are deeply coloured and full-bodied. Aromas and flavours of ripe blackberry, cherry, wild herbs, liquorice and spices can be found in wines made from the variety. On the palate, expect a soft tannic structure, medium acidity and a long finish.
Casavecchia is grown in the Campania region of Italy, esclusively in the countryside north of Caserta. Casavecchia is a low vigor variety but has potential to make quality wines. It is rich in anthocyanins so that the wines are deep-colored but with low level, smooth tannins. Casavecchia is mainly found in Campania, where it is used to make medium-bodied wines with aromas of ripe red fruits, spices and herbs. Casavecchia's bright acidity and soft tannins make it a great food-friendly wine. The variety pairs well with dishes such as pasta with red sauce, grilled vegetables, and roasted meats.
