Description
A red wine produced only with Aglianico grapes from the lower part of our 9 hectares of vineyards located in the commune of Castelfranci in the province of Avellino at 500 metres above sea level. The bunches are harvested by hand and transported to the cellar in small crates to prevent the grapes from being crushed. The wine, after fermentation, matures in oak barrels of various capacities for about 12 months, in steel for 12 months and in the bottle for a further 12 months.

The current cellar, built in 2009 on top of a hill in San Michele di Serino (AV), is the core of our company. A modern structure, perfectly integrated into the immediate environment, surrounded by vineyards and chestnut woods. From the panoramic terrace, with a view, you can follow the entire Sabato River valley, from its source, at the foot of Monte Terminio, to the point where it leaves the province of Avellino in Altavilla Irpina.
