"Camerlengo" is the title of the Cardinal who administers the Apostolic Chamber and takes care of the worldly goods of the Holy See.
The name of this beautiful wine is inspired by the events subsequent to Frederick II in 1250 when the Guelphs and Ghibellines fighted fiercely to defend the Pope and the Swabians, respectively.
In those years, Manfredi, son of Frederick, supported by loyal ones, went in the various towns of Lucania which in that political uncertainty had declared themselves faithful to the Pope.
As he passed, Manfredi obtained more and more consensus and support, but in the city of Rapolla things went differently.
Rapolla was loyal to the Pope and, confident in his support and protection, strenuously resisted the armed siege of Manfredi.
In this way the Pope, through Cardinal Camerlengo, in sign of recognition for so much loyalty, gave to Rapolla some land to cultivate.
