Sergio’s surname is Amore (love) and his wife Michela’s is as well. No activity could have a more romantic appendage in its genome. Sergio worked as an IT specialist in Rome, then one day he decided to return. In the village, Frasso Telesino, his grandfather Salvatore’s olive oil mill was waiting for him. It had been disused for 25 years, with the chimney like a sentinel. “I wanted to create something of my own.” The transformation took about a year. Then, in 2016, Birrificio del Sannio, the Sannio Brewery, was born.

Mario Cipriano is the master brewer who we need to thank for some excellent beer production closely linked to the territory. Mario favours local ingredients for his beermaking and promotes a local ecosystem among other local producers. Of his different bright and cheerful beers, Marylin especially stands out, a clear, top-fermented beer with herbaceous, citrus and floral notes; as well as Lemonale, spiced with coriander and Amalfi Coast citrus fruits; and the extraordinary Centesimale, beer par excellence of Campania Felix made with cooked must from Pallagrello and Annurca apples.
