From this winery
  • Start up year: 1996
  • Oenologist: Sebastiano Fortunato
  • Bottles produced: 320.000
  • Hectares: 30
Villa Raiano was born in 1996 in the old oil mill factories of the Basso family, owners of the company in the Raiano hamlet of the municipality of Serino (AV).

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.
