Red wine

The grapes come from 90 year old specimens placed at 500 meters above sea level. Spontaneous maceration and fermentation take place in terracotta amphorae for about a year. Subsequently the wine ages for 12 months in large barrels before being bottled, without clarification or filtration or addition of sulphur.

Ariano Arpinio, Campania

A splendid company, without compromises with the aim of not altering the natural balance, but rather of supporting it.

The official year of foundation is 2003 but in reality it has actually been producing wines, at least on an experimental level, since 1998. Antonio, Daniela and the other partners have as their objective the production of real, frank and evocative wine of the territory, without sophistication, the way we like it.

There are 25 hectares of vineyards, all at 500 meters above sea level and with plants up to 90 years old. Only the native vines of the area are grown here, such as Aglianico, Fiano and Greco.

The macerations are very long, even up to 6 months in containers such as non-first passage wood and amphorae, terracotta and stoneware. Spontaneous fermentations with native yeasts, and the wine is bottled without filtration or clarification or the addition of sulfur dioxide
