Produced exclusively from 100% Raspato Nero, an ancient indigenous grape variety that had nearly vanished, it was painstakingly recovered by the winery through massal selection from centuries-old vines. Remarkably, the plants are ungrafted!

It is a red of great drinkability and freshness, featuring a moderate alcohol content. Agile and juicy, it boasts silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that makes it a perfect companion for the table. An intriguing texture lends it elegance, while a spicy flick on the finish provides a thrilling spark.

Production is highly limited; for the 2024 vintage, only 1,200 bottles were produced.

The name "Raptor" is a tribute to the local area and the dinosaur footprints discovered in the Aurunci territory. This detail highlights how this region, with its minimal human footprint, represents a unique sanctuary for the preservation of both the landscape and history.

From the producer

Aurete

The story of Giovanni Vittiglio, Paolo Ingino, and Eugenio Varone begins long before the Aurete project was officially born in 2017. Master brewers first, then restaurateurs, they fell in love with this corner of Lower Lazio within the Aurunci Mountains Natural Park, discovering a millennial tradition of viticulture. In this isolated, pristine valley, they have become the protagonists of a true act of agricultural resistance blooming amidst the woods of Esperia, where ancient sedimentary carbonate rocks dictate the rules.

Their focus has been the recovery of ancient, forgotten indigenous grape varieties unique to this area. They centered their efforts on Reale Bianca and Raspato Nero—vines that, even today, remain ungrafted (piede franco)—producing wines that define the very essence of the Aurete project.

The estate manages approximately four hectares of vineyards under biodynamic cultivation, stripping away every chemical shortcut to let the land speak for itself. Here, wine isn't manufactured to follow the latest trends; it is guided with a visceral approach and a philosophy of minimal intervention. This aims to preserve the integrity of an ecosystem where the vines coexist with the Mediterranean scrub and the Apennine landscape, delivering an energy in the glass that can only be described as electric, alongside an aromatic purity that catches anyone accustomed to homogenized products completely off guard.
