The Ocone di Ponte company, in Località La Madonnella, presents this year its best "battleships": four Aglianico, different but united by a thread that links elegance and finesse. They have excellent basic characteristics with calcareous soils, exposures ranging from south-east to south-west, altitudes from 200 to 400 meters above sea level and with plants that reach even thirty-five years of age.

Add to this the fundamental contribution of man and the game is done! Three of the four wines offered with merit earn the Quattro Grappoli area and the Diomede instead the podium, keeping all its gustatory drive intact, expressing austerity and composure in perfect balance. To close the circle the other typical and traditional vines of Benevento, Fiano, Falanghina, Greco and Coda di Volpe, which always represent a guarantee. Read more
