The “PICVS” or woodpecker was holy to Romans and Samnite; it was one of the two animals that natured the twins of Rome. The Samnites, descendants of the Sabellica lineage, owe their arrival in Sannio also to the god Picvs, who is tied to the Ver Sacrum legend. In ancient days, groups of young me, who were chosen at the holy spring, would leave in search of new lands to live and cultivate, following totem animals, like the woodpecker, holy to the God Mars, considered oracular by Sanntes, Piceni and Romans. 

The “CINQUE GRANI”, from the latin granum (average weight), were one of the most famous and beautiful copper coins, which weight we re around 31.7 grams and diameter of 36 mm with a bald eagle.

This typology of sweet sparkling wine, as in the Roman time, lasted for a long time, practically until the end of the year 1800, when it was transformed into that dry fresh and elegant wine, that we all appreciate today. Therefore, the evolution happened beginning with an Extra Dry Falanghina to a Brut Falanghina sparkling wine.

Noble marcs fermented and obtained from the drawing of red wines, then distilled by hand in small discontinuous stills at low temperature and aged in small oak barrels of Limousine for 12 months.

Brandy of virgin pomace, obtained from Falanghina grapes produced and vinified following the "draining" in white vinification, and distilled exclusively in Italy.

In local legends, it was the fair’s wine, floral, rich in fruity scents like cherries and berries:

festive Novello, able to evoke emotions and ancestral sensations and to color life with joy. Pleasant to drink on any occasion, especially next to mushroom dishes.

The "SECUTOR" hunter or pursuer, was a gladiator of some Samnite origin in Roman times. Choice born from the need to draw attention to a page of the millenary history that belonged to an interesting territory, rich in tradition and culture which is certainly the Sannio.

The “EGLEUCO” originates from the famous aigleucos, the sparkling wine mentioned by Virgilio, that was produced not only in Rome, but also in Greece and in the Narbonese province.

“The SECUTOR gives our wines the right doses of  grit taste-olfactory and biting combiveness”.

Dedicated to our Coda di Volpe in purity, typical grape of the Sannio and bunch of apical shape similar to the tail of a fox, Galeam recalls through a war accessory the audacity, the wit and the value of the Samnite people.
