FXF Garden Cellar Red 2021

Ariano Arpinio, Campania

A splendid, uncompromising company with the aim of not disturbing the natural balance, but rather of indulging it.

The official founding year is 2003, but in fact they have been producing wines, at least experimentally, since 1998. Antonio, Daniela and the other members have as their goal the production of real wine, straightforward and evocative of the territory, without sophistication, as we like it.

There are 25 hectares under vine, all at an altitude of 500 metres and with plants up to 90 years old. Only the indigenous vines of the area are grown here, such as Aglianico, Fiano and Greco.

Macerations are very long, even up to 6 months in containers such as non first-passage wood and amphorae, terracotta and stoneware. Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is bottled without filtration or clarification or addition of sulphur dioxide.
