The story
The winery is a family-run business in Irpinia: modern agricultural activity began with vine plantings in the 1990s, and the estate is documented as having been officially established in the early 2000s. Over the years it has consolidated a production focused on native grape varieties and has taken part in national fairs and tastings, establishing itself as a local point of reference for Fiano.
Production philosophy
Production focused on expressing the terroir: direct vineyard management and winemaking aimed at minimal intervention. The estate remains family-run, with a focus on quality and grape typicity.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards are spread across several locations in Irpinia on high-altitude hills; soils are predominantly clayey marls and arenaceous conglomerates, with temperature variations that promote slow ripening of the whites.
