You will be fascinated by this village built on a rock cliff above a river. Here you taste the local Annurca apple, a very ancient variety developping in a typical mediterranean climate. It does not ripen on the tree: apples are harvested when still immature and are then laid on straw beds where they reach maturation and their peculiar reddish hue. The annurca apple requires light, space and an added human touch. For this reason they are more expensive than other varieties, but they are really delicious.
After lunch you reach Benevento for a brief city walk. Here the famous “Liquore Strega” (witch liquor) is produced in an ancient factory according to a natural recipe dated hundreds of years old.

Here below an abstract from the Feudi.com:
“At Sorbo Serpico, in the heart of the Irpinian countryside, is located Feudi di San Gregorio, a winery of surprising architecture in an environment still intact, in which the vineyards coexist with the forest, fruit trees and aromatic herbs. Let yourself be surprised by the emotions of our barrel cellar, where the great reds rest in precious oak barrels, tasting our wines in the crystal rom suspended within. Pass through single vineyards almost 200 years old, observing the extraordinary nature of the territory and accompanying the evolutionary phases of the vine together with the men that work it, by hand, in respect of the tradition. We want to share with you these journeys through other proposals of visits conceived to bring together the passion of the wine, the culture of the territory and the refined traditional cuisine of our restaurant Marennà.”
