The story
The estate is linked to the Moccia family: father Gennaro launched a plan to restore the vineyards in the Agnano/Astroni area in 1960, and his son Raffaele has continued to manage the property, preserving the traditional, hands-on nature of the cultivation.
Production philosophy
The estate practices "heroic" viticulture on steep terraces, with hand-harvesting, low yields and low-intervention winemaking. Its stated aim is to showcase the local volcanic terroir through limited-production wines that express the native grape varieties.
