The birth of the wines is recent history, but it is the culmination of a long journey that began in 1984, when my mother and uncle bought the first piece of land in the municipality of Cirò, in the Sant'Anastasia district, with an extension of around 6 hectares, 2 of which are vineyards. It is the vineyard I cherish most because it reminds me of my childhood, the carefree years, my mother's youth and my uncle's enthusiasm. This is where it all started.

I haven't come from a family of winemakers for generations, my mother was a teacher, my uncle the secretary of the Liceo Scientifico in Cirò while my grandfather was involved in other things. It was they who passed on to me a love for the land and a hobby that over time turned into a real job and a lot of passion. In addition to the first six hectares of land in Sant'Anastasia, over time the company expanded to the districts of Fedduraro, Frandina and finally Piana di Franze.

Today, Vigneti Vumbaca is based in Cirò and extends over an area of about 13 hectares, of which about six are cultivated as vineyards with spurred cordon and sapling training systems, on partly hilly, medium-textured clayey-sandy and clayey-calcareous soils. All organically managed.

The company takes care of its vineyards by following cultivation traditions and restoring the old vines cultivated using the alberello system (hence the company logo), focusing on native vines such as Gaglioppo and Greco Bianco, with a focus also on Pecorello. Read more
