From this winery
  • Start up year: 1900
  • Oenologist: Ciro Biondi
  • Bottles produced: 30.000
  • Hectares: 7
The Biondi winery was founded at the end of the 19th century and reached its maximum expansion in the early 20th century thanks to the managerial commitment of Salvatore Biondi and the wine-growing experience of his brother Cirino (Ciro Biondi's grandfather) who, together with another producer, founded BIONDI & LANZAFAME. Under this name, the company participates in various exhibitions and fairs, winning various prizes and medals, including: Casalmonferato 1913, Paris 1914, Lyon 1914, Cuneo 1914, Milan 1914, inscription in the "GRANDE LIBRO D'ORO".

During that period, BIONDI & LANZAFAME wines were exported to Europe and the United States. After the end of the Second World War, the company began a period of decline, due to the lack of adaptation to modern technologies and the new post-war market.

Ciro and Stef Biondi started to work in 1999 restructuring the family vineyards with a fixed idea to resurrect these beautiful places. The only way to achieve this goal was to produce high quality wines that could make this activity sustainable. OUTIS was born from this commitment and constant work, 3 vineyards that the Biondi family has been guarding since at least 1600 and that we have learned to know and understand over the years.

3 vineyards and 3 CRU from which will be produced a limited number of bottles that will express 3 *terroir "close in space but distant in character and taste notes. Read more
