CD 1912 Aglianico del Taburno Riserva
History and Identity
A story that spans time.
C.D. 1912 recounts the origins of the D’Occhio family, intertwining memory and vision. From their experience in the United States to their return to Italy, culminating in the purchase of the land and the founding of the estate—each step is a root.
This Aglianico del Taburno Riserva is the result of that continuity, a wine that carries the weight of history and the precision of the present. A legacy to be savoured, generation after generation.
