From Greek Autochthon (Autos=same and chton=land). The Ancient Greeks called in this way populations originated in the land were they lived. An "autochthonous grape" means a grape that was growing up in a specific area were, during the time, it adapted himself to become typical of that territory. From those grapes we get wines that reflects the soul of Irpinia and have their origin in the ancient history, Red: Aglianico and White: Fiano, Greco and Falanghina. But to use only autochthonous grapes does not mean to make good wines!
